From today I am unemployed, so I have reviewed my schedule of tasks. They are as follows:

• Register myself and our two children as dependants on my wife’s health‑insurance policy.
• Reissue our children’s certificates for medical‑expense subsidies.
• Change my National Pension status to that of a dependant under my wife.
• Defer receipt of my unemployment benefit until after my JOCV service.
• Transfer my company defined‑contribution pension into an iDeCo account.

<JOCV preparations>

• Submit my certificate of resignation and the application for reimbursement of vaccination costs.
• Purchase the items I will need for daily life in Malawi.
• Exchange yen for US dollars to cover my initial expenses in Malawi.
• Renew my driving licence ahead of schedule if necessary.
• Nominate my wife as my tax guardian.
• Cancel any credit cards I will not use.
• Suspend my Japanese My Number identity card.
• Remove my residence certificate (jūminhyō) from the local register.

Having drawn up this list, I realise there is a great deal to do, so I should check it carefully once more to ensure nothing is overlooked.
