What about if you have PR, and are currently out of the country for a period of time?
Say you want to defer collecting pension and want to keep paying in in order to top up the amount you eventually would get, wouldn't it be possible to do so, if you still have a Japanese bank account?
If you want to do this, am I right that you would need a correspondence address in Japan?
Would there be any tax implications for this?

There is some info about this on the wiki: Extended absences from Japan
