Under \"Student\" your main activity is study, so working is a \"paid activity other than study\" — working without the permit is itself crossing the line.","bullets":["It covers running an income-generating business or any paid activity.","Under \"Student\", study is the main activity — work falls outside it.","ISA's guidance for new arrivals states plainly that working needs the permit first."]},"permitCardBack":{"heading":"The line on the back of your residence card is the key red line","body":"Most students receive a \"comprehensive permission\", printed on the back of the residence card as: \"Permitted (in principle within 28 hours/week, excluding work at fuzoku-type businesses)\". Your two most important red lines are right there. Employers are also legally required to check your status, expiry, work restrictions, and this very permit.","caveat":"If an employer looks only at the front of your card and never the back, treat it as a warning sign — the permit, the cap, and the excluded industries are all defined on the back."},"permitPaths":{"heading":"The three application routes available now","body":"Three routes are most common for ordinary students, and they're free of charge. The catch is online filing: it's allowed only together with a change-of-status, extension, or acquisition application. You cannot file online \"on its own, just to find a part-time job\".","bullets":["1) File at the airport on arrival (if not a re-entry, you're on \"Student\", and not the short \"3-month\" status) — adds roughly \"a few minutes\" to normal entry.","2) File at the Regional Immigration office for your area — in person or via an approved agent; show the form, activity statement, residence card and passport; no fee.","3) File online — but only together with a change/extension/acquisition application (never standalone)."],"caveat":"Don't assume you can apply online \"just for a work permit\" — online filing is only possible alongside a change/extension/acquisition. Most students already in Japan use route 2, the office counter."},"permitTimingValidity":{"heading":"Interview success does not mean you may work today","body":"ISA's standard processing time is a guideline 2 weeks to 2 months — that's the official figure, not when it actually reaches you. In busy periods it can feel close to a month, so don't read \"passed the interview\" as \"can start today\". The validity basically tracks your period of stay.","caveat":"When you extend your period of stay, remember to re-apply for or renew the work permit too — otherwise you fall into the classic trap where you and the job are unchanged, but the permit has quietly expired along with the old period of stay."},"permitConsequences":{"heading":"What happens if you work without permission, or over the limit","body":"Don't shrug off \"just two days without the permit\". ISA states that working beyond what's permitted can lead to your extension being refused; in serious cases, deportation — generally a 5-year re-entry ban (longer for repeat cases). This isn't an empty threat: in 2024, 14,453 people were found to have worked illegally, 76.4% of that year's deportation cases.","caveat":"If you want to keep job-hunting after graduation, separately confirm whether you've switched to the appropriate \"Designated Activities\" status and still have work eligibility — continuing to work on the old card is high-risk."},"hours28":{"heading":"The 28 hours are measured over any rolling 7-day week","body":"The core of the comprehensive permit is \"in principle within 28 hours per week\". What people miss isn't the number but the definition of \"a week\": ISA's Q&A states that whatever day you start counting from, any 7-day window must stay within 28 hours. \"Mon-to-Sun didn't exceed\" is not automatically safe — if Thu-to-next-Wed exceeds, you still have a problem.","caveat":"Don't memorise it as \"each week, Monday to Sunday\". The correct framing is \"any rolling 7-day week must not exceed 28 hours\"."},"hoursMultiStore":{"heading":"Multiple jobs are combined — keep your own total-hours ledger","body":"\"Each store under 28 hours is fine\" is wrong. ISA's employer materials and the card guidance repeat it: where you have several jobs, the combined total must stay within 28 hours/week. Whether on- or off-campus, you alone must track the total — Immigration judges by your total hours, not by how restrained each store is.","caveat":"Keep every shift table, clock-in record, cover-shift note, LINE rescheduling screenshot and payslip, and compute your total over \"any rolling 7 days\". No one will build that total for you."},"hoursCashDay":{"heading":"Cash, day-pay, and a friend's shop still count as work","body":"Being paid in cash, by the day, or quietly at a friend's shop does not remove the job from being a \"paid activity\". ISA's definition looks at whether it's paid work; the hour cap looks at whether and how many hours you're working — not at whether the wage went through a bank. So \"cash pay doesn't count toward hours\" is a classic myth.","caveat":"This is not a quoted FAQ line but a direct inference from ISA's rules — and the direction is certain. Count by hours worked, not by how the wage is paid."},"hoursLongBreak":{"heading":"A long break is not \"the days you personally have no class\"","body":"ISA's public FAQ: during long institutional breaks (summer, winter, etc.) defined by the school's rules, students may work up to 8 hours/day. The key isn't \"I currently have no class\" but \"the break period defined in the school's regulations\" — check the academic calendar; it can differ by graduate school.","caveat":"ISA's most reliable wording is \"up to 8 hours/day\"; many university offices, for scheduling, add \"8 hours/day and within 40 hours/week\". Hold both tiers in mind — and remember \"long break\" is defined by school rules, not by the days you happen to be free."},"hoursEnrolledOnly":{"heading":"The permit ends with enrollment; leave and graduation differ","body":"ISA's Q&A states this kind of permit is in principle \"limited to the period you are enrolled\". Many schools spell it out: no work while on leave of absence, and after enrollment ends (withdrawal, graduation) you can't keep working under the \"Student + work permit\" framework.","caveat":"\"My card is still valid, so I'll keep working after graduation\" is dangerous. If you continue job-hunting after graduating, make sure you've changed to the appropriate \"Designated Activities\" status and confirmed you still have work eligibility."},"venueByPlace":{"heading":"Why \"just cleaning or dishwashing\" is still out","body":"ISA's general rule bars activity at fuzoku businesses, shop-type sex-related special businesses, and designated-entertainment dining venues, plus certain non-shop, video-transmission, or telephone-introduction businesses. What matters is that the ban is by venue and business type — not by what you personally do. The question isn't \"did you serve customers\" but \"are you working at that kind of venue\".","caveat":"University offices repeatedly warn: sweeping, dishwashing, handing out tissues or flyers can be equally out. The safest framing: \"any role tied to a fuzoku-type venue — cleaning, kitchen, register, promotion — is out in principle.\""},"venueHighRisk":{"heading":"High-risk keywords and the gray zone","body":"Rather than memorising a blacklist, first scan the job posting for these words. A word alone isn't automatically illegal, but if you can't confirm on the spot that the venue isn't covered by the entertainment-business / designated-entertainment / sex-related categories, treat it as verify-first high-risk and show it to your school's office or an immigration consultation desk.","bullets":["High-risk words: fuzoku, kyabakura, snack bar, girls' bar, pachinko, mahjong, designated entertainment, love hotel, adult, etc.","Gray zone: late-night bar kitchen/cleaning, flyering outside the shop, social-media customer acquisition.","Even if it looks like ordinary service work, if the business-license category is unclear, don't assume it's allowed."],"caveat":"More dangerous than an obviously illegal shop is a job that looks like normal service work but whose license category is murky. If a role is tied to a fuzoku-type venue, don't assume it's fine even if it's not a core customer-facing job."},"venueGrayZone":{"heading":"Back-of-house at night venues is the real trap","body":"The most dangerous gray-zone jobs aren't the obviously illegal ones, but those that look like ordinary service work while the actual license category isn't clean — e.g. a late-night bar's \"kitchen\", \"cleaning\", or \"door-pulling\", or \"flyering outside\" and \"promoting a social account\". The official bans are written around venue and business type, not around the word \"hostessing\".","caveat":"The safest framing: \"as long as a role is tied to a fuzoku-type venue, don't presume it's allowed — even if it isn't the core service job.\""},"venueEmployerDuty":{"heading":"Employers are obliged to check your card and permit","body":"Employers must confirm your status, period of stay, and whether/what work permission you hold (MHLW and ISA employer materials). Working under \"Student\" also assumes your main activity is still attending school — ISA's general rules require that your status activity is not being hindered and is being carried out.","caveat":"If an employer never checks and instead says \"just start, we'll sort it later\", that's a strong warning sign — an inference from the official verification duty, but a sound one. Long absences, leave, withdrawal, or working on an old card after graduation without re-applying tend to be most fatal at renewal time."},"taxThreeWalls":{"heading":"First separate the \"103-man\" and \"130-man\" lines","body":"The 1.03-million-yen tax line and 1.3-million-yen health-insurance line belong to different systems. For income-tax dependency, distinguish the tax years: for 2025, the total-income limit is 580,000 yen, or 1.23 million yen in gross wages if wages are the only income. For 2026, those limits are 620,000 yen and 1.36 million yen. The 2025 reform took effect on 2025-12-01 for the 2025 tax year; the 2026 reform takes effect on 2026-12-01 for the 2026 tax year. Withholding procedures through November of each year are unchanged by that December's reform; December year-end adjustments and later procedures reflect it. A separate special-relative deduction also applies to qualifying relatives aged 19-22.","caveat":"For death or departure cases with a year-end adjustment or quasi-final return completed by 2026-11-30, check the NTA Q&A for filing or correction procedures to apply the new rules. The departure date alone is not enough to determine this. The 270,000-yen working-student deduction also depends on student status, total income and non-wage income; it is not an automatic tax exemption."},"taxWithholding":{"heading":"Withholding, year-end adjustment, and when you must file","body":"The usual flow: wages are withheld, then the main employer does a year-end adjustment. But you can submit the dependent-deduction form to only one \"main wage\" payer; second/third wages are taxed under the \"otsu\" column and side employers generally can't do your year-end adjustment. If you have wages from two or more sources that aren't year-end-adjusted, you must settle via a final tax return yourself.","caveat":"Many people with a single, year-end-adjusted wage don't need to file; but once you have several jobs, mixed main/side wages, or a side income that wasn't adjusted, check whether you must file yourself. You don't need to memorise every formula."},"insuranceShortTime":{"heading":"Social insurance — \"students never enter\" is wrong","body":"Students are not categorically excluded from social insurance. From 2026-10-01, the 88,000-yen monthly wage requirement for short-hour workers' employee health insurance and pension enrollment was abolished. At covered workplaces, conditions such as scheduled work of at least 20 hours a week and not being a student still apply. Student exceptions include those on leave, night-division students, and students with a pre-graduation job offer who continue working at the same firm after graduation.","caveat":"88,000 yen a month is no longer the general wage requirement. Workers with an approved minimum-wage reduction whose scheduled monthly wages are below 88,000 yen are normally excluded, but may enroll upon request."},"insuranceDependent":{"heading":"Dependent recognition's \"130/150-man\" is a separate thing","body":"For dependency under someone else's employee health insurance, the general annual-income limit is under 1.3 million yen. For recognition dates from 2025-10-01, dependents aged 19-22 other than the insured person's spouse have a limit of under 1.5 million yen. The spouse exclusion includes de facto spouses. This is health-insurance dependency, separate from the immigration working-hour cap and income-tax dependency.","caveat":"Even if your hours don't exceed 28, your dependent eligibility can be affected by projected income, remittance relationships, and family status. The \"130/150\" is health-insurance recognition — a different system from the other two."},"taxKeyLine":{"heading":"The key line: don't memorise three rules as one number","body":"The single most worthwhile line on this page: tax dependency, health-insurance dependency, and the immigration work permit are three separate systems — don't memorise just one number. That's safer than drilling \"103/106/123/130/150\" in isolation, and matches where students actually trip up.","caveat":"The numbers move by year, status, municipality and dependency relationship."},"wageMinimum":{"heading":"How to read regional wage gaps safely","body":"The floor first: the Minimum Wage Act applies to students' part-time pay too, so a legal job can't pay below the regional minimum. The latest postings show clear regional gaps, and the old line \"students earn roughly 1000-1200 yen nationwide\" is shaky — Tokyo's and Kanagawa's legal floors are already 1,279-1,280. Entry jobs in big cities often start in the 1,200s, lower in the regions; always check your prefecture's labour bureau notice.","caveat":"Don't force a single nationwide range. Night work (22:00-5:00) legally requires a premium of at least 25%."},"jobChannels":{"heading":"Safer channels for finding work","body":"If you prioritize compliance over speed, a safe order is: your school's international office / career center / co-op board → Hello Work → other private job sites. It's not that private sites are unusable, but campus and public channels make it easier to check status, hours and employment-condition compliance. Hello Work Internet Service and the Employment Service Centers for Foreigners offer search, placement and residence-related consultation, with dedicated desks in Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka, Fukuoka and elsewhere.","bullets":["Suggested order: campus (international office, career center, co-op board) → Hello Work → private sites.","If you use private sites: check compliance first, pay second.","After an offer: verify the shop name, business type, shifts, and whether it involves hospitality/late nights/flyering — item by item against the official rules.","The more a job is \"start today, day-pay, high wage, late night, multi-store rotation\", the less you should judge by price alone."],"caveat":"Don't jump at the \"start-today, day-pay, high-wage, late-night, multi-store\" combination on price alone. This isn't emotive advice — it follows directly from the rule red lines above."},"jobLanguage":{"heading":"The language bar — there's no nationwide \"N-something\"","body":"Bottom line: there's no national \"part-time jobs require JLPT N-x\" rule. The real bar is usually set by the role, not a single JLPT number from Immigration. JASSO's student-employment guide is mainly about graduate jobs, but its take on what employers care about is useful: the ability to write, to understand instructions, and to express yourself. For hospitality, register, phone and reception roles, understanding on-site instructions and basic communication often matters more than a certificate.","caveat":"This is more of an inference-flavoured summary from JASSO and similar sources than a verbatim official rule. The required level varies by role, so judge from the specific job description."},"jobInterview":{"heading":"What interviews tend to confirm","body":"Better not to frame interview questions as a fixed quiz; safer is \"interviews first check administrative risk, then shifts and communication\". From ISA/MHLW's employer-verification duty and schools'/JASSO's notes on student interviews, the most commonly confirmed items are the guideline list below. If you hold several jobs, proactively saying \"I manage my own total hours and won't exceed 28\" actually lowers an employer's concerns.","bullets":["Whether you hold the work permit.","Your residence card's expiry date.","How many days a week you can work / weekends and night shifts.","When you can start.","Whether you can follow on-site instructions in Japanese.","Whether the commute is sustainable."],"caveat":"For multiple jobs, saying upfront \"I manage my total hours and won't exceed 28\" is reassuring.
