How to Apply:

If you are 65 years of age or over, you should use State Pension (Contributory) (SPC1). If you are under 65 years of age, or over 66 years of age and already in receipt of a State pension from Ireland, use EU Pension Through Country of Residence (EUP65) form.

People Residing outside Ireland

If you live outside the Republic of Ireland, in an EEA Country, you should apply for an EU Pension to the pension institution in your country of residence, in accordance with the procedures of that institution.

If you do not live in an EEA country, you must apply for an EU Pension to the pension institution in the EEA country in which you were last insurably employed.
