Commencement of payment in Korea

When a client applies for New Zealand Superannuation or Veteran's Pension to be paid in Korea before their departure, payments will start on the first payday after they have left New Zealand.

When a client applies from Korea, the New Zealand Superannuation or Veteran's pension will start from the latter of:

• the date they are entitled to New Zealand Superannuation or Veteran's Pension
• the date the agreement with Korea came into force or
• the date they applied for New Zealand Superannuation Veteran's Pension or a Korean pension (whichever they applied for earliest)

The Korean authorities will forward the application form and supporting documentation to International Services.
