FAQ
Key questions
If your German address still needs to be deregistered, that step is usually handled first through the partner path. Once that is clear, the case can continue into the Fundsback refund flow when relevant.
In many refund cases, the 24-month gap after your last mandatory contribution is part of the timing logic. The exact fit still depends on your insurance history and whether another pension route is more relevant, so it should be checked in context first.
