GETTING YOUR GERMAN PENSION REFUND

Foreigners working in Germany make substantial contributions to the German Pension Plan. Depending on the nationality, the length of time worked in Germany and the average monthly salary, foreigners can qualify for up to three years worth of pension contributions.

We can organise for these Pension Insurance Contributions (Rentenversicherung) to be refunded to you.

The Pension Insurance Contributions are usually worth 9.55 % of your salary, so it may be a lot for you.
