Someone pointed out tourist visas have an added remark:

Employment Prohibited

But education visas don't have a similar remark.

His claim was since no remark about employment prohibited, then part time work was allowed.

His claim was work permits were for full time work and extension of stay

but if employment was not stated as prohibited on a visa, then part time work was allowed.

I don't believe it, but there is some logic to his assertions.

I though no work permit then no work (even volunteer)

Maybe can work on student visa or retirement visa (if not prohibited) but probably still need work permit?

If have long term stay visa(retirement/education), is it possible (maybe difficult) to get work permit for part time work?

"His claim was work permits were for full time work and extension of stay

but if employment was not stated as prohibited on a visa, then part time work was allowed."

Not true.

Any work requires a WP. Even part time work.

I know two people who each had a WP for 10 hours work a week.

"His claim was work permits were for full time work and extension of stay

Not true.

What visa did they have?

Did they extend their visa based on working 10 hours a week or already had another method of extending their visa?

I don't think can get extention to stay based on working 10 hours a week.

brian, I don't know what you're up to, but Terry stated clearly that without WP you're not allowed to work.

An extension will be granted for having a WP NOT for working 10 hours per week.

No you can't work, even part time.

Work requires a WP, on an ED-visa no WP is issued. Some people work on an ED-visa as interns, that is sometimes allowed without a WP as part of their education.

A WP an extension of stay for working 10 hours a week would be possible, but for many jobs their is also an income requirement before immigraiton gives an extension of stay.

I understand work permit is required for any work.

I understand it is possible to get work permit for part time work.

I understand can't get work permit with educational visa.

Here is my misunderstanding

I was thinking a work permit gave permission to work but not necessarily extend their visa for the term of the work contract.

If someone can get a work permit for part time work and extension of stay then qualified part time language school teachers should be able to get Non-b visa and work permits.

I hear most can't get work permits and they claim it was because they only work part time.

Maybe not the real reason they don't get work permits.

But still interesting "employment prohibited" is not written on the Ed visa but it is written on tourist visa.

Maybe I am being too analytical.

It doesn't effect me, but the guy was adamant about his claim.

I also thought false and proposed the question to the experts here to verify.

Thank you for your answer

Thank you. That makes a lot of sense.

Confirming:

Working in an area as an intern related to your field of study is possible. Not for language school students.

Work permits need salary requirements not just hours.

Based on that, a part time language school teacher wouldn't qualify.

For teachers there is no minimum income requirement, so 10 hours a week would be possible for them.
