Pensions

While working away from your home country it is not always necessary or possible to continue paying into your existing pension schemes; or if you do so you may not get the same level of investment.

There is a great difference between the state pension and any private pensions.

In general, state pensions will either be covered by local social security or through your E101.

Dependent on the country of work there may be an element of private pension within the social security system and therefore you need to be aware of what your entitlement is, whether you can take out pensions locally and, if applicable, what advantages there may be from a tax perspective.
