Pension refund
Hi All,
Finally i had a talk with Bfa people after my 2 year. I have sent my application(v400) to them and they requested me to send my Passport(Auswies) with my picture in it and validity should appear in your passport and a request letter stating that you need your money in your Checking account or Savings account like that.
Till now this is the main requirement. If any thing comes up, i will post you soon... but i don't think they need more...
regards,
Srikanth from USA.

Hallo *,
In Deutsch, you should remember, Antrag auf Beitragserstattung (Application for the Contribution Refund):
http://www.deutsch...icationFile.pdf/V0900
Hope, it would have helped you.
Just fill it and then bring with the given requirements to the Embassy.
Gruss,

Re: Pension refund
Hi AT
Thanks for the link.
Can I ask you a favor , as I cannot understand the form by myself. If I move to another EU country after two year of leaving Germany , can I still apply for this money being resident of another EU country ? Or I have lost it ...
In case of lost , is there any option to transfer it to pension account of other EU state ?
I will always prefer to get this money but dont want to losse it in case of EU laws.
Thanks alot

Re: Pension refund
@jose,
if you moved to another EU, then there are two options:
1) You show them that you left Germany without many your current Resident and apply from your home country (other than EU, 3WC->third world country, if so). You will get only your contribution 50%.
2) For EU, if you working there, you must be paying RENTE there as well. If so, you may inform German Insurance, and they will be happy enough to get your contributions from other EU country, or that new EU country may get your contributions as transferred. But, in both cases of 2), you dont get your contribution suddenly, but only, if you move back to your country.
I think, if you re-check my given link, there is useful info and also you may translate that info into English to understand, if find it difficult to understand.
So, it depends upon your choice 1) or 2).
You must have something in mind, where you want to live etc. and this decision should be based upon that.
Gruss/Greetings,

Re: Pension refund -passport expired
Hi,
I spent three years in Germany (Dec 2003- Dec 2006) and planning to apply for Pension refund but one of the requirement is passport copy and co-incidently my passport has just expired last month and it would take some time to get the same renewed. Could someone directs me what document I can provide other than passport (or along with expired passport).
Thanks

Re: Pension refund
Hi,
I got a letter (dated 6th July) from Bfa people which mentioned how much money I would get, about 2 months back and two days back, got a confirmation that they have asked Bundesbank to transfer the funds on 24th July, but I am yet to recieve that money in my account in India. I checked with my bank in India and they are asking for MT-103 from the bank. So I will be writing back to Bfa people about this and see how it goes. At this point, it does not feel good as I have heard that few such cases are being dragged for more than 2 years.
Any suggesitons, please.

Re: Pension refund
Hi All,
Could some one clarify my following question regarding Rentenversicherung please?
Q) While I worked in Germany for around 3.5 years I paid Rentenversicherung, after that I moved to UK and started working. Now my 24 months waiting period is almost over. So is it possible that I apply for my pension refund and get it in 2 months? If not can I transfer that to my UK national Insurance contributions.
I wonder what if I apply for Rentenversicherung from India?
Thanks for your suggestions, very much appreciated

Re: Pension refund
Hi ,
Nope you will not get any money back since you are in UK. UK and Germany have an agreement you can transfer the pension money to UK pension system. Please call deutsche-rentenversicherung and give you social security number from UK.
