ＦＡＱ about VISA procedure

Ｑ |
I'm a foreign student of Japanese university. I have a
scholarship, but, in Japan, prices are serious highly.
Therefore I intend to work part-time, but is there any
problem ? |
|---|
| | | |
| | Ａ
|
Please take a "permission of working out of
qualification". It is not a purpose that the foreign
student originally works.
And the activity to get an income, a reward is not
recognized because it is admitted the residence for
study. However, please receive the permission beforehand
because it is admitted for a range without the hindrance
for study comprehensively if it is a parttimer within
28 hours a week.
If you work without getting permission, you may be
disadvantaged at the time of renovation of your residence.

Ｑ |
I raise a trade-related company by oneself after
graduation from university in next March and think to
work energetically.
Should I apply for a residence qualification change to
"Investment, Operation or Manager" after graduation?
|
|---|
| | | |
| | Ａ |
I cannot conclude because I do not know the situation
concretely, but normally it is very difficult to
change the qualification to "Investment, Operation or
Manager" from "Study".
The Immigration Bureau authorities consider that
a student without work experience cannot administrate
well a company.
In addition, it is required the investment more than
5,000,000 yen and two regular staff employment.
Therefore, I recommend you to search for some job
in a trading company first and prepare to establish your
own company after getting enough expert knowledge and
experience. |

３． |
Ｑ |
I have a residence qualification of three years
"Humanities knowledge / International".
The period is still left for approximately 2 years
and I changed my job to a another company.
Do I need any procedure ?
|
|---|
| | | |
| | Ａ |
It is better to get a "Certificate of authorized
employment". If you do not take any procedure,
you have a some risk for renewing your residence
qualification because the Immigration Bureau may
judge the job is not appropiate for your residence
qualification.
In addition, if you change your job again, the
preparation for renewing residence qualification
will be very complicated.
To avoid it, getting the certificate is very useful.
It means that the Immigration Bureau already checked
your new job and the job is appropiate for your
residence.

| | Ａ |
According to the actual Immigration law, your mother
can visit a Japan with temporary visit visa, but there
is no adequate visa for residence unfortunately.
Therefore, for the question of inviting parent and
