Frequently Asked Questions

Am I allowed to work part-time?
Yes, but NOT automatically. Your student visa does not permit work by default. You must apply for 'Permission to Engage in Activity Other Than That Permitted' (Shikakugai Katsudo Kyoka). Once granted, you can legally work up to 28 hours per week (up to 40 hours during long school holidays).
Can I work in bars or nightclubs part-time?
Absolutely not. Just like the Working Holiday visa, students are strictly prohibited from working in the adult entertainment or nightlife industry (Fuzoku), which includes host/hostess clubs, cabaret, pachinko parlours, and late-night bars where you serve customers intimately. Violation leads to deportation.
Can I stay in Japan after graduation?
Yes. If you graduate from a Japanese university or vocational college, you can apply for the 'Designated Activities (Job Hunting)' visa, which gives you up to 12 months to find full-time employment. Language school graduates generally do not qualify and must either enter higher education or find a job immediately.
What if my class attendance drops?
Immigration strictly monitors attendance rates when you renew your visa or switch to a work visa. An attendance rate strictly below 80% marks you as a severe flight risk; Immigration will likely reject your renewal, forcing you to leave Japan.
