FAQ

What happens to my pension when I leave Germany?

Your pension contributions remain in the German system even after you leave. Depending on your nationality, contribution months and destination country, you may be able to claim a refund, apply for a regular pension later or combine German and foreign pension rights through a social security agreement. The 24-month waiting period after your last mandatory contribution applies to refund cases. Fundsback helps you understand which option fits your situation.
