I'm going to studying in a Japanese university from next fall. While I'm in Japan, I'd like to work part time. I've heard that you need a permit for that, to work in an arubaito, or アルバイト、バイト. How do I go about doing this?
Any recommendations on where I can find the place to get the permit or what is the name in Japanese, what should I ask? Thank you!

Hi Christopher!
To get your arubaito, or part time job permit, you need to apply for a 資格外活動許可 (shikakugai katsudou kyoka).
You'll need to have your application form along with your passport, alien registration card (zairyu card) and student ID when visiting your regional immigration office. So you need to search where is the nearest immigration office for your city.
Just tell them 資格外活動許可を申請したいです。(pronounced: shikakugai katsudou kyoka no shinsei o shitai desu) which means that you'd like to apply for the permit.
This website from one of the university has more details. http://ois.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/students_life/albeit.html
