Citizenship and pension money
Hi All,
What would happen if I take citizenship and then quit it after some(lets say 5) years to go back permanently to my country of origin.
What would happen to my pension amount. Would I be able to get it back then?
Did you have any information about this?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards

Hallo *,

Deutsche Staatsangehörige:
Für Deutsche ist eine Beitragserstattung regelmäßig nicht möglich, da sie auch bei Aufenthalt im Ausland zur freiwilligen Versicherung berechtigt sind.

Re: Citizenship and pension money
Once you get german citizenship and if you work for more than 5 years you will be getting your pension only at age 65.
"I was originally a German national, but am now a US national. I worked and paid pension insurance contributions in Germany for 8 years prior to emigrating. Am I now entitled to have my entire pension paid to me in a lump sum?
Contributions will not be refunded in this case, because you paid contributions in Germany for more than the five-year minimum period. You are entitled to claim a German pension when you reach the age of 65. Whether or not an earlier claim is established depends on the amount you are contributing to your American pension insurance plan.
" This is from FAQ from deutsche-rentenversicherung website
Here is the link http://www.deutsch...__node.html__nnn=true
go through the FAQ and you will get some idea about the pension.
