Pension question; transfer to Europe

Hello japanlife,

Could use some advice regarding pension agreements, lump sum withdrawal and likely return to Japan.

We are getting transferred from Japan to the Uk next year. Probably 5 years. After that either another 5 years in a different European country or return to Japan. My husband is Japanese and I have a European passport (not uk).

My homecountry has a pension agreement with Japan, so I was never planning to do the lump sum but now with us leaving I’m not sure what the best choice is.

We might be gone for up to 10 years and I’m worried we are missing something.
Also if plans change and we are not returning to Japan, would I still be able to transfer my payments to my home country or possibly a different country? (I’ve paid into the system for 6 years)

What would you do in my case with my pension payments in Japan? Also who could I talk to, to lean more about these pension agreements between countries?
