What is the Lump-sum Withdrawal Payment?

The lump-sum withdrawal payment is a system that allows foreign nationals who were enrolled in Japan’s Employees’ Pension Insurance to receive a partial refund of the pension premiums they paid once they leave Japan and deregister their residence.


The amount varies depending on your income level and length of enrollment, but it can range from tens of thousands of yen to as much as 5.6 million yen.

Examples:

Monthly salary of ¥300,000 for 1 year: Refund of approx. ¥250,000–¥300,000
Monthly salary of ¥500,000 for 3 years: Refund of approx. ¥1,000,000–¥1,500,000
Monthly salary of ¥650,000 with three annual bonuses of ¥1.5 million for 5 years: Refund of over ¥5,600,000
(A withholding income tax of 20.42% will be deducted at payment, but it can be reclaimed later through a tax refund.)

Eligibility Requirements:

  1. Non-Japanese Nationality
  2. Enrolled in Employees' Pension Insurance for at least 6 months
  3. No registered address in Japan
  4. Application submitted within 2 years after leaving Japan
