Japan tightens part-time work rules for international students
Japan has decided to change the rules for part-time jobs for international students who come from overseas.
Until now, international students have been able to work part-time immediately after coming to Japan.
However, starting from 2026, there will be more stringent checks for part-time work.
For example, for permission to work part-time based it will be checked how the school's study is going and how the daily life in Japan is going.
In June 2025, there are approximately 435,000 international students in Japan.
This is approximately 10% of the total number of foreigners living in Japan.
Many international students work part-time to earn money for living expenses.
However, under the current rules, some people work more than 28 hours a week, and some people do more work than study.
