I am a dependent visa holder with permission to work. I've been been looking for part-time work for a while now and having no luck at all due to my basic Japanese level. In Fukuoka, it seems like all part-time work requires high level of Japanese.
Now I decided I want to find work online instead through Upwork. Upon searching online, apparently there are two types of work permit, the Blanket permit (一般許可) and Individual permit (個別許可).
I think I just have the Blanket permit since it just says 許可 on my residence card.
If am specifically looking for jobs that are hourly basis only as to not exceed the 28 hours weekly limit (I plan to log my daily hours religiously), would that still be covered under Blanket permit? Or do I need to apply for the individual permit?
If individual permit is required, how hard is it to get an approval given that I don't have any clients in Upwork yet.
Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance!
