Can I receive AOW if I tour in a camper?

Questioner

Hello, At the moment I live with my girlfriend in a house we own. That girlfriend is not yet entitled to AOW. Because I live with her, I receive the lower AOW pension for cohabitants. What happens to the AOW if I go on a camper tour through Europe alone or with my girlfriend, as soon as this is possible again? Thank you for your answer.

Lawyer

You can receive AOW if you have a permanent address abroad and therefore emigrate. Please remember that this can have consequences for the health insurance premium and fiscally.

Questioner

Thank you very much for your answer. So a postal address is not enough to continue receiving my AOW while I am camping?

Lawyer

A postal address is possible but is usually only granted for a certain period and is arranged differently per municipality. Extension is also not always an option. A permanent residential address in the Netherlands or abroad is ultimately really necessary.
