I’m a dual Japanese / USA national who may be leaving Japan in the near future.
At my previous job I had a Defined Contribution Plan 確定拠出年金 sponsored by the company. I left the company this January and around July the money in the Defined Contribution Plan was “rolled over” (自動移換) into the National Pension Fund Association.
Is there any way to withdraw this money as cash upon leaving Japan, or is my only option to put this money into a personal iDeco account and treat it as retirement money? If the latter, are there any pitfalls to iDeco accounts and US citizenship?
Thank you!
