Hey folks,Just curious — has anyone here actually managed to get their pension contributions refunded after working in Germany? I left a few years ago and didn’t think about it back then, but now I’m wondering if it’s still possible to claim anything.
Would love to hear how it went for you — was it complicated? How long did it take?
Yes, many non-EU nationals have successfully received refunds for their German pension contributions after leaving the country. To be eligible, you must have contributed to the German pension system for less than five years, have left Germany more than two years ago, and no longer plan to contribute. The process involves submitting forms (V900 and possibly V901), along with proof of identity, employment, and non-involvement in the German system. Refunds typically take 3–6 months to process. on the other hand, hrmis is working amazingly to manage employee related tasks, making things efficient more streamlined.
