Lump Sum Withdrawal Payment System (Pension)
To receive a Basic Elderly Pension, Basic Disability Pension or Basic Bereaved Family Pension, you must pay pension premiums for a designated period. There is a Lump-Sum Withdrawal Benefit program for short-term foreign residents who return to their home country without fulfilling the recipient eligibility period. A lump-sum benefit is paid upon request within two years of leaving Japan if you have paid pension premiums for more than six months.
