Hello,

I have been working in Belgium for the last 3 years and currently planning to move to Germany.
I would like to know some details regarding the transferring of social security and pension from Belgium to Germany.

Is any special form I have to obtain from Belgium Administration? Please guide me the procedure if any.

THANKS IN ADVANCE

As far as I know, there is no option to transfer social security and pension entitlements between countries, even within the EU. The systems are still national and incompatible with each other.
If you find out that I am wrong here, please come back and post it - for all of us to learn!
