Q: Do IT professionals on work visa need National Pension?
If your employer provides Employees Pension (kosei nenkin), you do not need National Pension separately. Many IT companies in the Nishi-Kasai area provide this. Please consult a professional.
Q: What about pension agreements with India?
Japan has a social security agreement with India to prevent double coverage. Check with the pension office for details on your situation.
