After leaving Sweden

Your pension after leaving Sweden

The forgotten occupational tjänstepension is a SEPARATE layer worth 25 to 50% of the total payout, ~90% of employees have it, held by private providers (Collectum/ITP, Fora/SAF-LO), that people routinely forget because the public pension feels like "the" pension; surfaced via minPension.se.

Frequently asked questions

Can I still claim my Sweden pension if I live abroad?

Departed-expat BankID retention after closing a Swedish bank is UNKNOWN, the choke point

What happens to a Sweden pension if I do nothing?

No Swedish pension is automatic, nothing pays without an application (~6 months ahead); the tjänstepension sits with the provider and the income/premium pension stays dormant until claimed.

Do you give financial advice on what to do with a Sweden pension?

No. We identify the scheme and access route. We do not advise on transfer, consolidation, drawdown, or taxation, those decisions belong with a regulated adviser in your country of residence.

What if you find nothing?

Full refund. Our report is a fixed $99 fee; if it delivers nothing material, you pay nothing.
