Health Insurance + Pension Contribution : Query About Landing 30 or 30st of Oct & starting Employment on 1st Nov ( Third World National )

I am in tricky situation currently.
Looking for suggestions if someone went through same.

My new firm in Japan wants me to Join them physically on 1st Nov 2024. ( can not be delayed, they said they have reasons )

I am permanent residence(PR) of Japan however currently de-registered in Japan and living abroad.

If I want to join them on 1st Nov , I have to consider landing in Japan on 31st Oct 2024.

Flight schedules are not in favor to land to Japan in early hours on 1st Nov 2024 itself.

Que

When I go to register myself in ward office , I have to share when I landed in Japan , which will be 31st Oct 2024.

But my employment starts on 1st Nov 2024 , that means my health insurance coverage as well as pension contribution starts from 1st Nov.

That also means I am without health insurance contribution/registration as well no pension contribution record for 31st Oct even though I am physically landed in Japan.

How to manage this ?

Looking into longer perspective of apply for citizenship in Japan , want to avoid any surprises with this 1 day of gap (just in case ).

  1. If I’m understanding this right, you would just have to register for the mandatory National Health Insurance and Pension for the one day of October, pay the prorated amounts, then file to withdraw from it once your work coverage is set?
