What You Should Know Before Starting a Part-Time Job

*Obtain permission to engage in non-academic activities

International students who wish to work part-time (to engage in paid activities) must first obtain permission to engage in non-academic activities. The application for permission should be submitted to the nearby Immigration Bureau office by the international student, either in person or through the university/college in which the student is enrolled. If you wish to engage in a part-time job, you should be careful to keep your job activities within a scope that does not affect your studying, which is the essential purpose of being an international student, and also stay within the permitted scope of non-academic activities (regarding work contents, maximum working hours and permitted period of employment).

Know the upper limit on part-time working hours

For those with a resident status of “college student,” the maximum number of working hours is stipulated by the Immigration Control Act as described below.

  • Permitted working hours per week: No more than 28 hours
  • Permitted working hours during long school breaks (summer vacation, winter vacation, etc.): No more than 8 hours per day

FiSSC has published a Guide to Part-Time Jobs for International Students (PDF：1503KB) to provide advice to international students who wish to take on part-time jobs.
