Hi, I’m planning to move to Kyoto next year to improve my Japanese by studying at ISI Kyoto. I’m currently at the N3 level and aiming to reach N1. I plan to study for two years on a student visa.
At the moment, I work as a freelancer in my hometown, and the pay is quite good. I usually work around three hours a day
I’ve read that international students in Japan are allowed to do part-time jobs (arubaito) for up to 28 hours per week. I’m wondering: if I continue my freelance work remotely while living in Japan, and the payment is sent to my bank account in my home country, would the Japanese government be able to track that income?
My plan is to do a part-time job in Japan for extra income and to practice speaking Japanese in daily life.
So theoretically, would working 28 hours (part-time job) plus around 15 hours (freelance work) be acceptable?
