Pension Fund of Ukraine simplifies the process: how to receive a pension while being abroad.

Ukrainians abroad can remotely arrange or renew pension payments

The Ministry of Reintegration reports that Ukrainians who went abroad and received temporary protection can remotely receive a pension. This also applies to those whose pension payments were suspended during martial law. Moreover, citizens who have reached retirement age can apply for a pension for the first time.

To arrange or renew a pension remotely through the Pension Fund of Ukraine portal, you need to:

1. Obtain an electronic signature (EDS).
2. Log in to the personal account on the PFU portal using the EDS.
3. Select "Pension application" and the appropriate type of pension in the "About pension provision" section.

Mailing documents to the PFU

• Obtain documents confirming temporary protection and registration abroad.
• Translate and legalize copies of documents through the nearest Consulate of Ukraine.
• Write an application for obtaining or renewing a pension, adding translated and legalized documents.
• Send the application with documents by mail to the Pension Fund of Ukraine.

Let us recall that PFU previously showed how the size of pensions differs across regions of Ukraine.
