Short Answer

Bilateral social security agreements allow pension portability with France, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, and 20+ countries. Process: apply through country of residence pension authority, mention bilateral agreement. Pensions paid to Tunisian bank account (in convertible dinars). Tax: double taxation treaties prevent double taxation (most cases, pension taxed only in paying country). CNRPS (public) and CNSS (private) handle Tunisian pensions. Consult OTE for guidance.
