pruneau Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 I am curious to know if anyone has any experience in this area. As a UK ex-pat I have just turned 65 and am currently working part-time as self-employed in France. I had a period of employment in the Netherlands way back and also qualify for a UK state pension. I have just started the process of applying hoping to draw my dutch pension immediately, my UK pension next year and my French pension last when I stop working. The current rules say that I have to apply for all of them via France, CIPAV in my case, but that is where the fun starts. The British and Dutch both say they will need forms E202, E205 & E207 sent from the French but how do the French get the info to fill in the details? The French even asked me to find out which forms were needed ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmilyA Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 I have been down this road recently, claiming my UK state pension without giving up my conjoint status in our micro-entreprise. It took ages to sort out, but in the end RSI sent me a retirement form to fill in. There is a space on the form for periods of employment in other countries. I filled in the fom with a note to say that I was not yet retiring in France and after about 5 months I got my UK state pension through. I thought it would have to be paid via RSI into my French bank account, but Newcastle are paying it into my UK account so I have to go through the process of claiming my tax back from the UK and paying tax on it in France and I guess this will take quite a long time as well. Good luck!Em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormanH Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 I have 4 different and tiny pensions, but as I am not an 'ex-pat' but an immigrant, and proud to be so there is no way I can help you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Funny, I thought there was an extradition treaty between France and UK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmilyA Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I am told that I am neither an expat nor an immigrant, but a "lifestyle migrant."Em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
