Students residing in Japan under the status of a "student" visa are not permitted to work. However, those students wishing to engage in part-time work must obtain a permission from the Osaka Immigration Office, Kobe Branch. Engaging in such activities without permission is subject to penalty. Students found to be engaged in full-time employment may be subject to deportation and/or other penalties. Working part time in the adult entertainment and amusement industries (including any business serving alcohol) are not permitted and subject to penalties. Any part-time work must not interfere with studies and/or research, the main purpose of being in Japan.
