Who Can Get a Germany Pension Refund?
Hi everyone! Has anyone here dealt with the German pension refund process?
I’m trying to understand:– Who is eligible to apply for a refund?– Are there any restrictions for citizens of specific countries (like India or the US)?– What happens if someone worked in Germany for more than 60 months?
Would appreciate any insights, experiences, or reliable sources. Just trying to get a clearer picture for people who don’t plan to retire in Germany.

For professionals who spent part of their careers working in Germany, it’s worth exploring the possibility of a refund from German social security. Especially when planning retirement or financial transitions across countries, reclaiming eligible contributions can make a significant difference.
