I don't believe the working visa regulations have changed. |

Nope, I'm not a teacher. For the working "E" series there have been no changes that I am aware of. I guess the "D" series don't apply (mostly investor and intra-company transfers) and there has been no change there.
I did not know that you could chnage from a business visit visa to a working visa without leaving the country. That is a surprise. |

What Wangja said - also, you CAN work on a spouse visa. My friend is doing just that.
According to him, you just need to find an employer to give him a job, get a contract, then take it to the immigration, and they will give you a piece of paper to take to the tax office or something.
Apparently, they are only concerned with whether you pay tax or not... |
