Time limit for studying and working in Japan

Japan: There is a time limit for working. In Japan, there were no regulations on the behavior of international students working. However, with more and more people coming to Japan in the name of studying abroad, the Japanese government issued a regulation in June 1990, stipulating that international students who need to work must first obtain the consent of the university, and then rely on the school certificate and the employer's contract (indicating the work content and time, etc.). ) and foreigner registration card. The reason is that international students come to Japan not to make money, and they should not rely on part-time jobs to pay all the expenses, including tuition and living expenses. There are two main types of international students in Japan, namely, foreign students with "study abroad" and "study abroad" visas. Universities, short-term college students and junior college students with "study abroad" visas are required to work within 4 hours a day (or no more than 28 hours a week), but they are allowed to work 8 hours a day during the summer vacation from July/KLOC-0 to August 3/KLOC-0. In the "study abroad" visa, college students, graduate students (before entering the master's degree), or college students or short-term students are more restricted. Generally, they are only allowed to work 2 hours a day (or less than 14 hours a week), but as mentioned above, they are allowed to work 8 hours a day during the summer vacation from July 1 day to August 3 1 day. Language school students with "study" visas are required to work within 4 hours a day (or 28 hours a week).
