Retirement: 65 countries have an agreement with France, but not all others
Published
If you work or have worked abroad, your years of contributions may count toward your French pension. France has signed social security agreements with 65 countries. Thanks to these agreements, periods of work completed in those countries can be taken into account to obtain quarters in France.
By contrast, in many other countries, no such agreement exists. In these cases, years worked abroad do not entitle you to any French quarters. An employee who worked for ten years in a country without an agreement may therefore end up with no validated quarters in France. To avoid this situation, it is advisable to check with pension bodies before leaving the country or settling abroad.
Those concerned can also check their career statement on the Assurance retraite website. This statement shows how many quarters are already recorded and allows any errors to be corrected. The rules can vary depending on each person's situation, and an adviser can help take stock of their rights.
