Having just (finally!) successfully navigated through the application process for a French pension I thought I’d capture a few helpful notes to make it a bit easier for anyone else to request their French Pension. I hope it helps.
The process has become simpler (really!) and the link between the state pension (CNAV) and the private pensions (Agirc-Arrco) is now more or less automatic; you only need to apply once. The “certificat de vie” required of those living outside France can now also be provided digitally via a dedicated app which actually works.
Although there’s some English-language stuff out there, it still helps if you have some French (or liberally use Google translate…)
