Retirement Visa Program
As an integral region of France (EU outermost region), no specific retirement visa exists. Expats can apply for France's VLS-TS Long-Stay Visa (Visiteur) requiring sufficient passive income (approx. €1,800/month single) and private health insurance, renewable leading to residency.
Pension System
PAYG system with basic pension from CNAV and compulsory supplementary Agirc-Arrco. Full rate (50%) at age 67 or earlier with sufficient quarters (up to 172); replacement rates typically 60-75% for median earners, sustainable with gradual retirement age increases.
Pension Adequacy
Pensions provide 50-90% replacement based on contributions and insurance periods; supplementary schemes ensure adequacy, low elderly poverty due to universal coverage for residents.
Healthcare Access
Full access to France's universal social security system (Sécurité Sociale) via CGSS for legal residents, covering 70-100% of costs with quality public hospitals; private options available, excellent for seniors.
