| Pension Refund for Those Staying in Japan If you are staying in Japan and you join the pension system again then your ALT pension term will aggregate with the new pension term, so you can file a claim to have both terms refunded when you eventually depart Japan (a maximum of three yearsf contributions will be refunded). If you stay in Japan and do not rejoin the pension system then you have two years from the end of your ALT contract to return to your country and file the claim. If you stay for longer than two years after the end of your ALT contract without joining the pension system again, you forfeit your right to file for a pension refund. |
