Question About Part-Time Job Working Hours

Hi everyone,

I’m an international student in Japan and currently trying to understand the rules about part-time work under the student visa

I understand students can work up to 28 hours per week during the school term and up to 8 hours per day during school holidays. However, I’m unsure about how this applies to specific scheduling.

Is it okay to work from 11:00 AM to 11:00 PM only on Sundays (a 12-hour shift), if I don’t work on any other day that week and stay within the 28-hour weekly limit?

I’ve checked some information online, but I’m still unclear whether a single long shift like this is acceptable under the current immigration/work rules for students.

Thank you!
