Ok, another question. Bear with me Jim. If I'm leaving CH then the money goes into a blocked account earning 1.5% not much above the rate of inflation, correct, this is why I thought about extracting it. Can I continue to put money into my 1st and 2nd pillars and thereby keep my pension pot alive whilst living and working in the eu? or do I need to transfer the pension to another pension scheme in my eu country of residence?
