Pension Lump-sum Refund claim

Hi,
I applied for pension lump-sum withdrawal 5 months back.I haven't received any information from Japan pension office.Can you kindly let me know any contact number whom i can contact who can speak in English.
Regards,
Ravi.

Hang in there, the pension refund can take as much as a year to process.

Thanks for your reply.

But how do i know that my application is processed as i haven't received any confirmation.

Is there any way to check the status of my pension refund??.

Thanks,
Ravi

I'm don't know if it is possible to check on the status as it is processing, but once it is done you'll receive a slip stating that they will be transferring money to your overseas account. In some cases though, people receive the money before the notification.

I applied 5 months back too. but still waiting coz they told me that it takes about six months. I called them and confirmed that my application wa under process. They only answer calls in Japanese. You need your tell your Basic pension number and date of birth and or your address before leaving Japan
