Dear All,
I apologize for another Pension question but I couldn't find a clear answer to my question after some research.
I'll be leaving Japan soon, after around 3 years working here, and go back to my home country (France).
Japan and France have a bilateral Pension agreement. From what I have read and understood on the French Pension website, my years in Japan will be automatically counted in France thanks to that agreement when I claim my pension in the future.
I don't see any clear info regarding the lump sum payment. It seems to me that taking the money would cancel the transfer of my pension to France, but at the same time, it is not clearly explained. In addition, I heard from someone in a similar situation in the past that they took the lump sum payment.
Anyone with clear guidance ?
PS: Just got remembered that I'll have to pay 1 year of residence tax when leaving, it hurts ..
