Can Turkish Citizens Living in the Netherlands Retire from Turkey?
For Turkish citizens living abroad — especially in the Netherlands — it is indeed possible to retire from Turkey.
Whether you are employed, self-employed as a ZZP (independent contractor), or a housewife, you may qualify for a retirement pension in Turkey.
Through the foreign service credit system (Yurtdışı Borçlanma) offered by the Turkish Social Security Institution (SGK), you can convert your years of residence in the Netherlands into contribution periods toward retirement in Turkey. This enables you to fulfill the required age and service conditions for retirement.
SGK’nın sunduğu yurtdışı borçlanma hakkı, Hollanda’da geçen yıllarınızı Türkiye’de prim günü olarak saydırmanıza olanak tanır. Böylece Türkiye’den emeklilik için gerekli yaş ve gün şartlarını karşılayabilirsiniz.
