Beitragserstattung von der Rentenversicherung für Nicht-EU-Bürger
Die Informationen auf dieser Webseite richten sich ausschließlich an Nicht-Europäer, die in Deutschland temporär gearbeitet haben und einer Erstattung ihrer Versicherungsbeiträge vor Erreichen des Rentenalters anstreben.
Als Nicht-Europäer können Sie unter bestimmten Voraussetzungen eine Rückerstattung Ihrer Beiträge von der Deutschen Rentenversicherung erhalten, wenn bereits 24 Monate seit Ihrem letzten Beitrag in Deutschland vergangen sind, und Sie zum Zeitpunkt der Antragstellung außerhalb der Europäischen Union, des Europäischen Wirtschaftsraums, der Schweiz und des Vereinigten Königreichs leben.
Weitere Besonderheiten können sich aus Ihrer Staatsangehörigkeit ergeben. Das kann der Fall sein, wenn Ihr Heimatland ein Sozialabkommen mit Deutschland geschlossen hat.

German Pension Refund Eligibility
Faustregel für die Beitragserstattung:
Eine Beitragserstattung für Sie ist nur möglich, wenn Sie weniger als 5 Jahre lang Rentenbeiträge in Deutschland gezahlt haben. Ansonsten besteht keine Möglichkeit zur Beitragserstattung.
Sie können lediglich Ihre zukünftigen Rentenzahlungen dadurch erhöhen, dass Sie weiterhin freiwillige Versicherungsbeiträge zahlen und ihre Altersrente beantragen, wenn Sie das Rentenalter erreicht haben (65-67 Jahre, abhängig von Ihrem Geburtsjahr). Sie haben das Recht auf freiwillige Versicherung von überall auf der Welt.
GermanyPensionRefund.com hilft Ihnen dabei, eine unkomplizierte, schnelle und sichere Beitragserstattung zu erhalten, sofern weniger als 5 Jahre lang Rentenbeiträge gezahlt wurden und seit Ihrer letzten Beitragszahlung in Deutschland mindestens 24 Monate vergangen sind.

German Pension Refund Claims for Non-Contracting State Nationals
Being a national of a non-contracting state simply means that Germany and your home country have not signed any social security agreements yet.
Once you have left Germany but still reside within the European Union (EU) or United Kingdom (UK), you are allowed to pay voluntary contributions, but that ends once you move out;
If you reside outside the EU/UK, and 24 months after your last mandatory pension insurance contribution in Germany have passed, you are eligible to claim a refund.
If you are eligible, Get your refund!

German Pension Refunds for Europeans
European citizens, including citizens of the UK that were employed in Germany before BREXIT, are covered by regulations which require equal treatment to German citizens.
German citizens are allowed to pay voluntary contributions from anywhere in the world. Germans can only get a pension refund if they have reached retirement age, but failed to qualify for retirement pension. In other words, if the total period of contributions has been less than 60 months in Germany or any other country in the EU combined.
If you give up your EU citizenship and take on a non-EU nationality, you could be eligible for a refund.

Can I Claim a German Pension Refund After 5 Years of Contributing?
Most nationalities are not allowed to pay voluntary contributions after moving out of the EU, if you are among them, you can get a German pension refund no matter how long contributions were paid.
So, who are the few selected that cannot get refunds after 5 years?
Citizens of the United States, India, Canada, Australia, Brazil, Albania, Moldova, the Philippines, South Korea, and Uruguay cannot get a refund after having qualified for a German retirement pension by contributing for at least 5 years. If you are a citizens of one of the above mentioned countries, it is impossible to get a refund once your pension balance counts 60 months.

Israeli citizens can only claim refunds residing in a non-EU/non-UK country outside of Israel. The period of contribution does not matter.
​
