If you live outside the Republic of Ireland, in an EEA Country, you should apply for an EU Pension to the pension institution in your country of residence, in accordance with the procedures of that institution.
If you do not live in an EEA country, you must apply for an EU Pension to the pension institution in the EEA country in which you were last insurably employed.
