Employment

A Student visa itself does NOT allow you to work in Japan. You must obtain the Certificate of Authorized Employment (Shikakugai-katsudo-kyoka) from the immigration bureau before engaging in part-time work.
However, if you work as a part-time teaching (TA) or research (RA) assistant at Chiba University, you are not required to obtain this certificate.
Exchange students apart of J-PAC and MEXT Intensive Japanese Course students are not allowed to work for six months after arrival.
For detailed information, contact ISD (→International Support Desk (ISD)).
