Hi All, I have been following this thread with great interest. When I left the UK in 1969 I don't think there was any such thing as form P85 - Leaving the UK, I just left without informing anyone. I have lived in Scandinavia since then so I don't qualify for any kind of pension from the UK, having only worked there for 3 years. My sole pension providers are the Swedish state where I have been paying for 39 years and a couple of private pension schemes, also Swedish. I was wondering though, when I move to France definitely, which will be next year, will I be obliged to sign on anywhere? By then I will be 65 and will be a full time pensioner.My wife is 2 years younger, but I will be supporting her until her Swedish pension starts in 3 years time. Furster
