Retirement visas, pensions, and healthcare for retirees
Retirement Visa Program
No dedicated retirement or passive income visa program exists for Equatorial Guinea. Expats may pursue standard work, business, or family reunification visas, or long-term stays via investment, but no retiree-specific options available.
Pension System
Social insurance system (PAYG) administered by INSESO requires age 60 and 120 months of contributions (60 in last 10 years) for old-age pension of 40% average earnings plus 2% per year over 10 years, max 80%; minimum 117,304 XAF monthly, adjusted every 5 years.
Pension Adequacy
Replacement rates 40-80% based on contributions favor long-term workers but low minimum pension (117,304 XAF) inadequate for most; no universal pension, limited private supplements, high poverty risk for non-contributors.
Healthcare Access
Limited public healthcare via social security for contributors; poor quality, inadequate facilities, medicine shortages common. Private care expensive and urban-focused; expats rely on medical evacuation or personal insurance.
