Keep paying Seguridad Social (Social Security) contributions in Spain while you work abroad, whether or not that country has a bilateral Seguridad Social agreement with Spain, and even if you have never paid contributions here before. We file your convenio especial (special agreement) for emigrants with the Tesorería General so that you do not break your contribution record or lose your retirement pension rights.

Registration in the Convenio Especial de la Seguridad Social (special Social Security agreement) for Spanish emigrants: how is it filed?

  1. 1Complete the form stating the country you have emigrated to, or the country you are moving to for work.
  2. 2Provide your Spanish DNI or passport to prove your nationality, together with proof of your work in the destination country.
  3. 3We submit the application to the Tesorería General de la Seguridad Social (Social Security General Treasury) and let you know as soon as the agreement is signed off.
  4. 4From the first day of the month following the filing date, you take on the payment of contributions to the Seguridad Social to keep your rights active.

Which documents do you need?

  • •Copy of a valid DNI (Spanish national identity document) or passport proving Spanish nationality
  • •Employment contract in the foreign country or equivalent document
  • •Certificate of deregistration from the Spanish Seguridad Social (if applicable)

Prerequisites we also handle for you

This procedure needs documents that we also obtain. If you are missing any, ask us for it here and come back once you have it:

And whatever a third party provides, we arrange it

  • Traducción jurada (sworn translation) into Spanish
  • Apostilla or legalisation of a foreign document

You do not have to look for anyone: we coordinate it. As it is provided by a third party it is quoted separately and does not go inside the price of this procedure, and we tell you the amount before ordering it.

Legal basis and things to bear in mind

  • The agreement keeps you in a status treated as registered only for retirement, permanent disability and death and survivors' benefits. It does not cover healthcare, sick leave for temporary incapacity, or unemployment.
  • No prior contributions in Spain and no minimum contribution period are required, and it makes no difference whether the destination country has a bilateral Seguridad Social (Social Security) agreement with Spain (article 1 of Real Decreto 996/1986).
  • The contribution base is not a choice: it is always the minimum base of the Régimen General (general scheme) in force at any given time (article 15.4 of Orden TAS/2865/2003).
  • If you live abroad, contributions are paid quarterly in arrears, within the month following each calendar quarter. Missing two consecutive quarters terminates the agreement.
  • If you start working again and your new activity means registering in a Seguridad Social scheme with a base lower than that of the agreement, the agreement may be suspended or terminated, as you choose.
