Can someone transfer any type of existing pension into a QROPS?|||There are a few types of pension that can't be transferred into a Qualifiying Recognised Overseas Pension Scheme (QROPS).





You cannot transfer the basic UK state pension. Your state second pension (if you are eligible) is also not eligible for transfer into a QROPS.





A number of people in the UK will also be members of what we call final salary pension schemes especially things like the NHS superannuation scheme or civil service type arrangements. It is very unlikely that somebody in those pension schemes would benefit from a transfer into a QROPS arrangement but it can happen in exceptional circumstances.





Anybody who holds a private arrangement such a self invested personal pension, personal pension schemes or additional voluntary contributions, can transfer that value into a QROPS arrangement.
