You were directed to this page since we could not find a pension insurance company that you would be insured with. This happens if you haven’t worked at all in Finland or if no pension insurance has been taken out for you in this country.

Fill in and send your pension claim

If you want to claim a pension, fill in the pension application form and send it as an attachment via Suomi.fi Messages to the Finnish Centre for Pensions. You can also send in your application by post (on paper) to Kela, the Finnish Centre for Pensions or any earnings-related pension provider or its office.

Go to Suomi.fi Messages

Use the same form to claim a pension both from the earnings-related pension system and from Kela.

If you have lived or worked elsewhere than in Finland, you may have the right to get a pension from abroad. Apply for a pension from abroad using the same application form as for Finnish pensions. Attach Appendix U to your application. It includes data on your work and residence abroad.

Arbetspensionsanstalterna betalar arbetspension som tjänats in för arbete och företagarverksamhet. FPA betalar folkpension och/eller garantipension om det inte finns någon intjänad arbetspension att betala ut eller den inte överskrider de nedre gränserna för dessa pensioner.
