Retirement age

Age and service — by the year reached

Neni 92.1 of Ligj 7703/1993 sets out a transitional table for the required age and years of insurance — separately for men and women — that climbs gradually until both sexes reach 67 years with 40 years of service, in 2056. The table below covers 2015–2056 only; earlier rows (1993–2014) are keyed in half-year steps and are not transcribed here, since they cover cohorts who have already retired.

The table is read by the YEAR THE THRESHOLD IS REACHED, not the year of birth — each row carries its own required service, not one figure shared across the whole table.

The table's last row is 2056. The law states no rule for anyone reaching the threshold after 2056 — that is not the same as the age "freezing" permanently at the last row, only that no further rule was found.

Each row carries its own required-service figure — there is no single "years of service" number valid for the whole table. For your own figure, find the row for the year you reach the age.

Scope limit: Category II/III only

The table above covers Category II and III of Neni 92 — the general conditions, covering the large majority of insured persons. Category I (underground work) carries a lower age under the same article, not covered on this page. If you worked underground, the age shown here is HIGHER than your actual pension age — do not use it as your own answer.

What happens after 2056?

The table's last row is 2056, at 67 years with 40 years. The law states nothing for someone reaching the threshold after that date — this does NOT mean the age freezes permanently at 67 years, only that no further rule was found in the articles reviewed (31, 31/1, 32, 33, 59–62, 90–98).

There is no single flat "minimum years of service" figure that applies to everyone — each cohort has its own, in its row of the table above.

There is no route to an old-age pension on years of service alone, regardless of age.
