Hello again,
Wondering if anyone has gone through the application process for the permission named "Application for Permission to Engage in Activity Other than that Permitted under The Status of Residence Previously Granted".
It seems this is what I would need to do once in Japan to be able to work part-time. Is this one of those permissions they never give or do they pretty much give it to any dependants that want to work part-time? Any restrictions anyone knows about? Could I teach part-time without a degree as opposed to needing one for full-time work?
Thanks!
Laurent

Dear Mr. Laurent Vaisman,
Concerning your inquiry, as a dependent visa holder, you can not work in Japan. However, after you enter Japan, you can apply for a "Application for Permission to Engage in Activity Other than that Permitted under The Status of Residence Previously Granted" at local immigration office in Japan. Once this is granted you are allow to work under limited conditions.
For information how to obtain this permission, please consult at Japanese immigration office directly. Following is a list of immigration offices in Japan.
