Japanमा Student वा Dependent statusका व्यक्तिले part-time काम गर्न Permission to Engage in Activity Other Than That Permitted (資格外活動許可) चाहिन्छ। Residence status change भएपछि पुरानो permission सधैं automatic carry हुन्छ भनेर मान्नु जोखिमपूर्ण हुन्छ। नयाँ residence cardको back side र decision noticeमा permissionको current wording verify नगरी shift सुरु नगर्नुहोस्।
मुख्य principle
Outside-activity permission तपाईंको current residence status र permitted main activityसँग जोडिएको हुन्छ। Studentबाट job-hunting Designated Activities, Dependentबाट Student, वा अर्को statusमा change हुँदा legal basis बदलिन्छ। नयाँ statusले unrestricted work अनुमति दिन्छ कि limited permission आवश्यक छ भन्ने अलग जाँच गर्नुपर्छ।
Residence cardमा कहाँ हेर्ने?
- Front: status of residence and period of stay
- Back: permission to engage in activities outside statusको note
- Restrictions: generally permitted hours/activity wording
- Application pending stamp, यदि relevant
Employerले old cardको photocopy राखेको छ भने new card तुरुन्त देखाउनुहोस्। Old permissionको screenshotले current authorization प्रमाणित गर्दैन।
Common transitions
Student → Job-hunting Designated Activities
Graduationपछि Student activity समाप्त हुन्छ। Continuing job hunting statusमा living expensesका लागि part-time work गर्न separate permission आवश्यक हुन सक्छ। Old Student permission automatic छ भनेर assume नगर्नुहोस्।
Student → Work Visa
Main professional job new work statusले authorize गर्छ। Unrelated side job भने status scopeबाहिर पर्न सक्छ र separate permission वा prohibition लागू हुन सक्छ। “Work visa” भनेको सबै job गर्न पाउने open permit होइन।
Dependent → Student
New Student statusमा part-time permissionको current grant verify गर्नुहोस्। Status change applicationसँग permission request simultaneous गर्न मिल्छ कि latest procedure जाँच्नुहोस्।
Dependent → Work Visa
Approved work statusले specified professional activity full-time गर्न दिन्छ। Previous limited baito permission relevance समाप्त हुन सक्छ; side activities फेरि scope review चाहिन्छ।
Application documents
- Application for permission to engage in outside activity
- Passport and residence card
- Intended workको contract, duties, hours and remuneration evidence
- Main activityमा interference नहुने explanation, required भए
- Student/job-hunting caseमा school/recommendation/status documents
28-hour rule सही बुझ्नुहोस्
Student र certain dependent permissionsमा commonly 28 hours per week limit देखिन्छ, तर exact wording card/permitमा निर्भर हुन्छ। Multiple jobsका hours combined हुन्छन्। Student long vacationमा separate daily limit permission wordingअनुसार लागू हुन सक्छ। School term र vacation आफैं declare गरेर hours बढाउन मिल्दैन। Adult-entertainment-related businessesमा work prohibited हुन सक्छ, duties indirect भए पनि।
Job सुरु गर्नुअघि employer checklist
- New residence card front/back copy employerलाई दिनुहोस्.
- Permission wording and expiry employerसँग confirm गर्नुहोस्.
- Other jobsसहित weekly hours track गर्नुहोस्.
- Job category prohibited businessमा पर्दैन verify गर्नुहोस्.
- Status/permission renewal date calendarमा राख्नुहोस्.
- Approval नआउँदासम्म paid training पनि work मानिन सक्छ—पहिले confirm गर्नुहोस्.
Permission pending हुँदा काम?
Application receipt भएको मात्रले नयाँ work permission grant भएको मान्न मिल्दैन। Written/card authorization confirm नभएसम्म new outside activity सुरु नगर्नुहोस्। Employer pressure भए official consultation lineमा call गरी record राख्नुहोस्।
Violationका असर
Unauthorized work, hour excess वा prohibited business future renewal/status changeमा serious issue हुन सक्छ र employerलाई पनि penalties लाग्न सक्छ। Payslips, schedules र timecards राख्नुहोस्। Accidental over-scheduling थाहा पाए employerसँग तुरुन्त correct गरी evidence सुरक्षित राख्नुहोस्; false timecard नबनाउनुहोस्।
FAQ
New card backमा “permitted” छ भने enough?
Wording, scope, hours and prohibited activities पूरा पढ्नुहोस्। General permission र individually specified permission फरक हुन सक्छ।
Cash job hours count हुँदैन?
Payment methodले work authorization वा hour calculation हटाउँदैन। Cash income पनि tax and employment recordsमा lawfully handle हुनुपर्छ।
