Expatriate workers from Spain will be able to contribute to Social Security without a time limit, in view of the current obligation to enter the social protection system of the country in which they have spent a period, according to the order published this Saturday in the BOE and which will enter into force in 4 months.
This order of the Ministry of Inclusion, Social Security and Migration assimilates to the registration in the Social Security system workers displaced abroad at the service of companies that carry out their activities in Spanish territory, and repeals the one in force since 1982.
Until now, workers who move to countries that have an agreement with Spain on social security are forced to disassociate themselves from Spanish Social Security after a while -which varies depending on the country of destination- with what this implies in terms of access to a future retirement pension, among other things. This situation was already applicable to expatriate workers in countries where no instrument for coordinating Social Security systems is applicable.
Workers who are already registered in the system of the country in which they work posted, may request voluntary link to the Spanish Social Security within a period of six months from the entry into force of the order, within four months, as detailed. However, this order will not give rise to any rights for a period prior to the date of its application, that is, those expatriate workers who have already contributed to a system in a third country will not be able to recover or transfer these contributions to the Spanish Social Security.
