I don't think so. A few years ago, my boss had a figure similar to yours for a 2 year stay and charts saying that : -the larger % of *giving up Japan* occurs in the 6 first months -most people first get a short time visa when they arrive (1 year or less). The majority don't renew it, or don't even stay in Japan till the end of the first stint. -a number of people renew their visa only 1 time, then go away Then after 2 years, people tend to stay, and even if they leave, they come back later. > How many people are > prepared to risk having every single pension contribution after the 4 > year mark being unfundable? How many people take the risk of making *pension contribution* ? 99% of the gaigins and politicians in Japan have never been concerned by the problem. And well, that's a backshish among others. In many OECD countries, you contribute much more and you don't have more chances to get anything back. Kuri
