Can I get a pension refund when leaving Germany?

Yes, in many cases. If you are a non-EU citizen who has worked in Germany and paid into the pension system, you may be able to claim your contributions back after leaving. The key factors are your nationality, your current country of residence, and the number of contribution months you have paid. A 24-month waiting period after your last mandatory contribution usually applies. Fundsback checks your eligibility for free.
