One-Time Pension Withdrawal Payments
If you are a foreign national who has been paying into the pension scheme and you leave Japan, you are effectively discarding all your contributions, as you will not be able to receive the pension. However, if you fulfil certain conditions you are eligible to claim a one-off pension withdrawal payment.
[Major Criteria]
(1) You are a foreign national.
(2) You have paid contributions for at least 6 months.
(3) You have already returned to your home country, and are no longer residing in Japan.
(4) Less than 2 years have passed since you left Japan.
