Retirement

Benefits and reimbursements to pensioners

What benefits can I apply for when I am retired? Am I entitled to compensation for doctor’s visits and medicine? When can I apply for reimbursement of travel costs?

Situations faced by foreign pension recipients

Do I need to send a life certificate abroad? What information must I provide to the payer of my foreign pension? What if I move back to Finland?

New routine during retirement

Where can I find new hobbies or an opportunity to do volunteer work? Can I receive some digital support anywhere?
