Hi,
I am 50 years old and have been working in Ireland for most of my adult life. I have a very tempting job offer in South America. Since my wife is native to that country, there is the possibility we decide to take roots there and move for good.
Does anybody know if I can keep State Pension rights should I decide to retire in a non-EU country? Since I made way more than 10 years of contributions to the welfare system, I'd imagine I am entitled to a state pension (or part of it), even if I stop contributing between now and my retirement age. But I am not 100% sure, though.
How does it work?
Regards,
Butch
