I have worked in Switzerland for almost 20 years but plan to move back to Poland after I retire. Is there a way I can receive my Swiss pension after I move?

As a citizen of a European Union member country, you have the right to receive your pension even after you relocate to another country.

Before you leave Switzerland, you have to inform your local social security office of your upcoming move. The regional social security office will then transfer your file to the Swiss Compensation Fund – the international social security office. You can specify how and where you would like the money to be sent.
