It is possible to get a pension from employment abroad

Year by year more and more Finns work abroad. It is possible that a pension accrues from employment abroad both to the statutory pension scheme and the employer’s pension scheme. Verifications of the employment should be saved.

In this section you find detailed information about applying for a pension from abroad. A person who returns to spend his or her retirement in Finland needs practical information in order for things to run smoothly. The principle for payment of the pension is anyhow that the EU/EEA agreement guarantees a citizen of an agreement country that a pension accrued in another agreement country is paid to any of the agreement countries.
