Confirm Your Work Permit Before Starting a Job

Before the first shift, confirm that you are eligible to apply, the application has been officially approved, the permit is still valid, and you understand the applicable work-hour limit.

1. 1

   Ask the school to confirm whether your student category and current program meet the application conditions; do not apply another student’s situation to yourself.

2. 2

   Enter the student work-permit system through the Ministry of Labor’s official website and prepare the latest documents required by the system and school.

3. 3

   Track corrections, school confirmation, and the authority’s review. Do not start working before official approval.

4. 4

   After approval, check your name, permit period, and conditions, then confirm that the employer’s schedule stays within the current limit.

5. 5

   Save the permit result and work schedule. During semesters, the general maximum is twenty hours per week; check the current rule for winter or summer breaks and your individual status.
