All Japanese nationals are required to sign up for the National Pension when they turn 20 years old. However, there is a special system of exemptions in place that enables students to defer insurance payment. This system was put in place to prevent students without a source of income from being unable to receive a pension in the future, or from being unable to receive a disability basic pension in the event that they are left with a disability as the result of an unforeseen accident.
Whether you join the pension system or the system of exemptions, you need to apply, so please enquire at your nearest pension office or at the National Pension counter at your local municipal office. (Pamphlets are also available at the Student Support Division) The university held pension consultation in April and November last year.
