I lived in Japan for almost 10 years working and paying into the pension system. I left Japan this year (made a proper exit with canceling my visa, my number card, informing the ward office, etc) but I will return to Japan with a spouse visa next year. I never did the lump-sum pay out so what will happen to all the pension I paid before? Or is my pension effectively reset once I enter on a new visa?
