Non-Icelandic EEA citizens and payouts of mandatory pension savings
- Non-Icelandic EEA citizens cannot be repaid contributions when they move away from Iceland. This is in accordance with mutual agreements between member states.
- Non-Icelandic EEA citizens who have moved away from Iceland when a payout of contributions is made should turn to the partner organisation of the Icelandic Social Insurance Administration (Tryggingastofnun) in the relevant country who will forward the enquiry to Iceland.
Non-Icelandic EEA citizens and payouts of mandatory pension savings
- Non-Icelandic EEA citizens cannot be repaid supplementary pension savings when they move away from Iceland. If they have moved away from Iceland when a payout of supplementary pension savings is made, they need to contact directly the custodian to which payment was made as the Icelandic Social Insurance Administration and the Icelandic Pension Funds Association do not act as intermediaries in this respect.
