Romanians who have worked abroad can have their foreign work years counted towards their pension in Romania. The calculation of pension benefits considers contributions made in multiple countries, with each state paying its share based on its regulations. For EU countries, periods of insurance can be aggregated to meet eligibility requirements, while non-EU countries depend on bilateral agreements. The pension is paid by the country where the work was performed, and individuals may receive pensions from multiple states. The age of retirement varies by country, affecting when benefits can be accessed. Applications for pensions should be submitted to the institution in the country of residence, which coordinates with other countries involved.
