In recent years, an ever-growing number of people have been thinking very carefully about their retirement to ensure they can retire at the age they wish, with the level of income they have anticipated. This has been necessary in light of an ageing population and fears that the state may no longer be able to look after senior citizens once they retire.

People who have private pensions, as well as their state pension, fear it will be too complicated to manage different pension pots in another country. This is one factor that deters many people from considering expat retirement.

Effects of Brexit
Some people have been wondering if they can still claim their State Pension abroad after the Brexit vote, when the UK voted to leave the EU. In fact, there has been no change to the status and rights of UK nationals in the EU following the referendum. You can still claim your State Pension abroad, as long as you have paid enough National Insurance contributions to qualify.
We can advise you on different types of expat retirement pensions, such as Self Invested Personal Pensions, or Qualifying Overseas Pension Schemes (QROPS). These make it possible for you to transfer and consolidate your UK pensions into one single personal pension.
If you’re considering retiring abroad, the attraction of a more relaxed lifestyle in a warmer climate could soon lose its appeal if you haven’t worked out your finances properly.
