      Top 3 Recommended Jobs for Dependent visa

      Top 3 Recommended Jobs for Dependent visa

      Index

      Dependent visa holders are limited to working 28 hours per week and may need to assist with family business, so daytime jobs are often preferable. Additionally, some may seek jobs that do not require Japanese proficiency. At Peregre Works, we recommend the following jobs to those on a dependent visa in Japan:

      Bed-Making Jobs

      Bed-making refers to the general cleaning of hotel rooms, which includes tidying up the bath, toilet, and of course, remaking the beds as part of the overall room cleaning. Depending on the hotel, staff may be divided into maids, who clean the rooms, and checkers, who inspect the cleaned rooms and report back.

      Japanese Language Requirement for Bed-Making

      The level of Japanese required for bed-making is minimal, as there is no much need to speak in detail  with Japanese staff, and so basic greetings may suffice. However, room checkers (a job to double check the cleaning of a room before guests arrive) might need to fill out cleaning checklists in Japanese and report to Japanese managers, and so might need conversational Japanese.

      Working Hours for Bed-Making

      Typically, bed-making is done between guest check-out and check-in, often from 9 AM to 4 PM.

      Earning Potential in Bed-Making

      The standard bed-making job earns an hourly wage. However, some of the companies advertising on Peregre Works offer bonuses for fast, accurate, and thorough cleaning. It's worth asking about such benefits during interviews.

      Restaurant Jobs

      The restaurant sector ranges from restaurants, cafes to pubs (Izakaya). Positions vary from customer-facing roles like taking customers orders at a checkout or at the customers table, to kitchen tasks like plating salads or washing dishes.

      Japanese Language Requirement for Restaurant Jobs

      Customer-facing roles might require more advanced Japanese to take and record orders spoken by Japanese customers. Kitchen roles generally require less Japanese, as there is little or no interaction with customers. If your Japanese level is low, it's always a great idea to start learning and practicing  basic greetings and gradually improve your Japanese in order to increase the types of jobs you can get in the future.

      Working Hours in Restaurant

      Shifts vary widely depending on the establishment, from early mornings in cafes to late nights in pubs.

      Earning Potential in Restaurant

      If you can work night shifts (after 10 PM) it is a great way to increase your income as they attract premium wages under Japanese labor laws, typically 1.25 times the daytime wage.

      Standard labor law of  Japan: Article 37 (4)

      If an employer has a worker work between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. (or between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. in the areas or during the times of year that the Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare prescribes, if the minister finds this to be necessary), the employer must pay premium wages for work during those hours at a rate not less than 25 percent over the normal wage per working hour.

      Supermarket Jobs

      Supermarkets offer various roles, from preparing ready-to-eat meals, slicing vegetables and meat and working at the checkout.

      Japanese Language Requirement for Supermarket Jobs

      Back-end roles (working in the preparation area, or storage area etc) generally have low Japanese requirements, but cashiers need to interact with Japanese customers, and so require conversational Japanese.

      Working Hours in Supermarkets

      Supermarket hours depend on the store format, with some operating 24/7 and others from morning till about 10 PM.

      Earning Potential in Supermarkets

      Working in supermarkets during the night or overnight shifts also qualifies for additional pay. According to statistics of the supermarket association, approximately 70% of them are open up to midnight 23:00 or 25:00.

      You can consider working until midnight in the supermarket.

      Lastly

      Was this information useful to you?? I have shared three popular job options for those with a dependant visa. Regarding the level of Japanese required, some companies may already have foreigners from your country working there, and you might be able to get support in your native language. Be sure to check during the interview.
