In a video, one of our international relations experts shows how important social security is for employees of companies that expand abroad. Our expert participated in the two-day ‘Flanders International Business Summit’. Please read his report. In addition, a centenary expat shares his experiences of more than 50 years of working and living abroad. Our Q&A will help you understand how to receive your pension abroad and in good time, and the procedure you are required to follow depending on whether you have worked outside the European Economic Area (EEA), in the EEA, in Belgium or in a combination of both.
