International students with “Student” status are not allowed to receive work part-time. In order to engage in part-time employment, you must first obtain "Permission to Engage in Activity Other than that Permitted under the Status of Residence Previously Granted" from the Immigration Service Agency.
You can apply for this permission by yourself or the University can apply for it on your behalf. Please visit IAD with the application form and necessary documents during the period when such applications are accepted (The deadlines for submitting application documents are posted on the website).
・When you work as a TA, RA or Tutors (Exclude tutors to support and guide in new students' daily lives) at Tottori University, or when you receive compensation for a temporary and short-time activity provided by Tottori University, this permission is not necessary.
・Students are permitted to work part-time for up to 28 hours/week (up to 8 hours/day during long holidays)
・Students are not allowed to work part-time during their leave of absence.
・The purpose of residence for international students is to study. If you do not take your classes seriously and spend most of your time working part-time, your permission may be revoked, and you may not be able to extend your status of residence.
Note: It is forbidden for students to work in sex or adult entertainment-related occupations.
Some specific examples of what is considered to be sex or adult entertainment-related occupation include:
Bars, "cabarets," night clubs, mah-jongg clubs, pachinko parlors, game centers, special bath houses, strip clubs, love hotels, private massage parlors, etc, and "snacks" and pubs where guests are personally entertained. No type of employment in these kinds of businesses are permitted, regardless of the nature of the work. For example, even cleaning work in any such business is prohibited.
