There is a chance that I relocate for 3-5 years for a new job to a different company in a different region.
Important note: My plan is to come back after 3-5 years period but then I will have to find a new job in Japan. This is all hypethetical at this stage as I do not have the offer and it is a risky move which I want to assess.
I've been in Japan exactly 5 years I have the following in place:
| My situations | Notes | Questions |
|---|---|---|
| I have permanenent residency | I suppose I will need to inform the Tax office. I am planning to come back to Tokyo every 3-4 months for a few weeks. | |
| 5 years of pension paid by my employers | I'm eligible for the retirement pension after 10 years. | Can I contribute while working and living abroad to reach the 10 years threshold? Is it worth it? I am guessing yes especially if I want to come back. |
| Rakuten NISA | Account since 3 years. | Can I contribute while working and living abroad? Should I? |
| Rakuten IDECO | Opened since 1 year (I used to have a DC Plan with my previous company but have not yet managed to transfer to the IDECO). | Can I contribute while working and living abroad? Should I? |
| General Life Insurance (生命共済) and Personal Accident Insurance (傷害保障型共済) | I just took it this month…. | I guess this will have to cancel it or maybe just take life insurance covering death for my next of kins. |
