Foreign residents may engage in activities within the range designated under their status of residence. To engage in income-generating activities covered by a different status of residence, or to receive remuneration for activities, you must receive permission in advance at the Immigration Bureau.
Since the objective of foreign students is to study, as a rule, income-generating activities are not authorized. However, if you apply for permission at the Immigration Bureau on the basis that work will not interfere with studies, then you may be able to work within the designated range.
