Application Service for Japan’s Employees’ Pension Lump-Sum Withdrawal Payment
Did you know that if you worked in Japan and have since returned to Korea, you may be eligible to receive a portion of your contributions to the Japanese Employees' Pension Insurance (Kōsei Nenkin) as a Lump-sum Withdrawal Payment? Additionally, under certain conditions, you may also be able to claim a refund on the income tax that was deducted. However, the refund process can be complex, especially if you no longer have a registered address in Japan. That’s why we offer a comprehensive service—from applying for the Lump-sum Withdrawal Payment to claiming the income tax refund—on your behalf.

What is the Lump-Sum Withdrawal Payment?
The Lump-Sum Withdrawal Payment is a system that allows foreigners who have contributed to Japan's National Pension or Employees' Pension Insurance for a certain period to receive a partial refund of their paid premiums in a lump sum after leaving Japan, provided certain conditions are met.
The attached image provides a simple overview of the process for applying for and receiving the Lump-Sum Withdrawal Payment through the Japan Pension Service. For example, a foreign national who worked at a Japanese company for three years and returned to their home country after resignation may be eligible to apply for the payment, and receive a one-time refund of their contributions to the Employees' Pension Insurance if they meet the required conditions.
- ・Required documents: Passport copy, pension book or basic pension notification, bank account certificate for receiving money, etc. (Claim forms will be provided when you apply through our service.)
- ・Withdrawal amount: Varies depending on the period of membership and the amount paid, with a maximum of 60 months (5 years) recognized. (Simulate estimated amount)
- ・Processing period: About 4 months after application. (Processing time may vary depending on the workload of the Japan Pension Service.)
- ・When applying for a lump-sum withdrawal payment through our service, we will also process your withholding tax/income tax refund (including tax representative service) in a one-stop process. (No additional fee)
