Does anybody here have any experience with the Japanese Cultural studies visa?
I wanted to pick your brains about something that seems quite vague even within the Japanese immigration office itself.
Is it or is it not possible to get a work permit for part time work if you are in Japan under the cultural studies visa? I’]Anyone have any experience on this?[/B]
Or can anyone direct me to any useful informative site about this topic?

I had one of those when I first came here. Got it through the JSPS (Japan Society for the Promotion of Sciences). The guy at the counsellate in LA said that he wasn't sure what VISA to give me, as it was a tax-free research grant to study the genetics of aging and density-dependent natural selection (in fruitflies, not in Japanese persons...hell, not even in Japanese fruitflies) ...whatever...well, basically, I don't know what it means or how to go about it, but it looked nice in the passport and I did answer your first question, "Anyone have any experience on this?", so I feel like I was a little bit helpful.
