| My UK Company Pension is not on the list, but this one is:
3rd pilar 7.408.347 [Zurich Life]
Is it possible for me to set up this third pillar independantly of co pension and use it to transfer my UK pension here?

There exists a 3a and a 3b version of 3rd pillar.
- 3a annual contribution is constrained. Max contribution is approx CHF 6'666 for those who have a Pillar 2. Those without a Pillar 2 can contribute 20% of income up to a cap of about CHF 32k. The contributions are tax deductible. Withdrawal only on retirement or permanently emigrating or some other special situations. Withdrawals are taxable.
- 3b is not tax deductible. Yield on 3b can be tax free after minimum holding period, e.g. 10 years.
Hence 3a cannot accept your UK pension capital. The 3b can accept any funds, if you are younger than 66. I do not know UK pension rules and whether a UK pension plan would agree.
