RetireJapan

Thanks. It seems difficult. Let's say I want to leave Japan, but collect my pension. I'm not 60 yet. I go back to my native country, Canada, then how would I set up receiving that money? Could I start receiving it in Canada before turning 60? If I have to wait, how would Canada even know that I paid...

Thank you. What if I leave Japan before I'm 60 and never return? Could I live in a different country, then start receiving the pension when I'm 60 or 65? Would there be any difference between moving back to my native country (which has a pension agreement with Japan) and moving to a completely diffe...

Can I still collect my Japanese pension outside of Japan, but not my native country? Also, would I have to wait until I'm 65, or could I coll...

Thank you.

I just gave them a copy of the paper they asked for. It didn't have as much info on it as I expected, so that's good.

I was wondering if it would be an option to tell the employer that you need to do a kakutei shinkoku and just tell them to skip the nenmatsu chosei. Sure, that is an option. There might be a whole load of reasons why one might have to do a Kakutei Shinkoku. The Employer still needs the Basic Pensio...

I had a job until last year which ended abruptly, so I went on unemployment insurance after that until I found a new job. I've been doing the new job for 3 months, which has been considered a probation period. That period is almost over, so my new employer will enroll me in the pension. Below is th...

This is just for them to do your tax return. All these things potentially lower your taxes. It is doubtful anyone beyond the HR staff will see the details.

It's a very small company, so HR staff = my boss = my manager.
