Emergency 24/7 ↗Germany and Bulgaria
When your working life connects Germany and Bulgaria.
Keep German and Bulgarian insurance documents organised by institution and period. The two pension systems do not have identical eligibility conditions.
Preparation for your situation
European coordination rules may be relevant to cross-border insurance periods. The competent institutions must assess the specific periods and entitlements.
What would you like help with?
We help organise employment timelines, existing decisions and outstanding questions. Tell us your current country of residence. Enquiries can be made in German, Turkish or English; Bulgarian-language consultation is not promised here.
