Starting September 1, Moldovan citizens who worked in Italy and paid social contributions will become eligible for social benefits under a new agreement between the Republic of Moldova and the Italian Republic.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs states that eligible Moldovan citizens will receive retirement pensions, survivors’ pensions, disability pensions, and allowances for work-related accidents or occupational diseases, depending on their contributions.
Authorities will combine work periods completed in both Moldova and Italy to determine pension eligibility. Citizens can submit their pension applications either in Moldova or Italy.
