Hello all
Let me first add that this website is extremely informative and has already helped me substantially. Kudos to the developers and members.
I am a non EU citizen and have a potential job offer in Germany. I am considering to take it up. I notice that a substantial part of the German salary goes into a pension fund. So I have a couple of questions with respect to this.
1) If I decide to come back to my home country after 3-4 years (or more), can I get a refund of my (and my employer's) deposits in the pension fund.
2) Does a German citizen gets all his deposits in pension at retirement or just a fraction of it? How is the pension at retirement determined ?
Looking forward to your responses.
Thanks
Anmol
