Retirement in France Retirement in France People residing in Great
Britain and wishing to retire permanently in France should
first inform their D.S.S. office a few weeks before the
intended date of departure. The D.S.S. will set the necessary
administrative arrangements in motion. (See address below).

Retirement to France continued:
- You are planning to move before you get your state
pension (eg: you are already in receipt of your private
pension)
You should apply for a form E106 (medical cover for up
to 2 years) ? see D.S.S. - Alternatively, a private insurance
or voluntary contributions should be considered when the
E106 expires or if you have not reached the age of state
retirement (Contact your local French social security
office).
- People receiving a UK state pension only
If the pensioner does not get a pension from France at
a later date, the United Kingdom will accept costs. A
form E121GB will be issued on request from the pensioner
to allow him to register for health care in France.
- People receiving both a UK and French pensions
In this case, the French sickness insurance institution
will be responsible for the health care costs and the
pensioner will be treated as a French pensioner for health
care purposes.
- People receiving a UK pension and will eventually receive
another EU pension at a later date
A form E121GB will be issued. When the French (or other
European Union Country) pension becomes payable, the health
care liabilities will be reviewed. For example, the E121GB
may have to be cancelled if insurance periods in the other
European Union country were no longer than those in the
UK. The Health care costs will then be the responsibility
of this European Union country, which will provide the
form E121.
Further information can be obtained from the D.S.S. (see
address below), especially leaflet SA29 "your special
security, health care and pensions right in the European
Community".
