Practical guides: Mayotte

Retirement

French pension from abroad, life certificate and the local pension scheme.

Some points in this guide concern ties with France (social security, taxes, pensions, French schools) and are labelled as such. If another country's system applies to you, ask your own bodies (social security, pension fund, tax authority) and your country's embassy whether an agreement exists with this destination and what it provides.

Pension

  • In Mayotte, old-age insurance is gradually converging with mainland French rules (decree of 22 September 2016, order of 1 December 2021): voluntary old-age insurance, free validation of some quarters and better rights for future pensioners.
