Find out if you can get NZ Super or Veteran's Pension

You must have lived in one of these Social Security Agreement (SSA) countries:

• Australia
• Canada
• Denmark
• Greece
• United Kingdom.

Or contributed to one of these SSA country's pension schemes:

• Canada
• Greece
• Ireland
• Jersey/Guernsey
• Malta
• Netherlands
• South Korea
• United Kingdom.

Some agreements have certain criteria you have to meet if you want to include time from their country.

You can only use one of the SSA countries to meet the residence criteria. You cannot combine time across multiple SSA countries.

Select the SSA country you want to use

If you're ordinarily resident in an SSA country when you apply, you can only use time from that country. The exception to this is Jersey and Guernsey, as you can combine time from both of these.
