I am currently employed full-time at an eikaiwa on a humanities visa. Recently, I’ve been offered a part-time job as an event helper, involving occasional weekend events, once or twice a month.

I’ve discussed this opportunity with my eikaiwa supervisor, and I was informed that as long as it doesn’t violate my existing contract (e.g., teaching on the side or taking clients), what I do in my free time is my choice.

Has anyone been in a similar situation? What should be my initial steps? Should I contact immigration in advance, or is it acceptable to apply for additional part-time work when needed? Are there any preparations I should make beforehand? Should I ask for written consent from my employer?
