Job application process simplified for foreign students

The Ministry of Justice repealed a rule that requires foreign students seeking a part-time job to submit a recommendation letter from a professor.

Students now only have to hand in a confirmation document from the school administration, the ministry said on Monday.

The government made both documents mandatory in order to prevent illegal recruitment. But it decided to simplify the rule, as the recommendation letter requirement has not been fully implemented, only adding to the burdens faced by foreign students.
