It's never worked for me either.. but you can just call them and ask and they'll tell you the figures. |

So...when you are collecting the whole amount, are you also getting refunded what your school contributed? |

Yes, you get it all, plus a little bit of interest on top of it. |

I have all the other documents, but I don't have a paper plane ticket. My flight is already booked online. Could I print out a copy of my receipt and itinerary as proof that I am leaving Korea? It is a one way flight back to the states. Also, does anyone know how soon I can go to the pension office before leaving Korea? (I recall a month for some reason).

I had to fill out a form that was front and back, and that was it. My target bank account was inside Korea, so it took only about 3 weeks for it to be deposited there. It takes a bit longer if you're having your refund deposited into an account back in your home country.
You should bring your passport as well, just in case it's wanted. |

A print-out of the ticket with a receipt should be fine. If there is any question, you can always have the officer call up the travel agent to verify your plans. Print outs will have to do, as fewer and fewer paper tickets are being issued these days. I think tickets are issued only electronically, but one can get a paper ticket if he asks for it. A paper ticket can be had for an extra fee in the US now. |

I plan to leave Korea for a week or two for the express purpose of claiming my pension. I've been to the pension office with my one way ticket, and I will tell the people at the airport that 'I'm not coming back.' But I do plan to come back and find another job (of course, entering the country again on a tourist visa until I find work). Will that work, or will everything be screwed up once I'm employed and they see that I'm back into the system again.
Here's the thing, I'll probably be legally employed in Korea again before the anticipated 'pay out' date of my pension refund.
Any informed opinions on this would be greatly appreciated.

My friend worked for Wonderland about 3 years ago, and CDI (salary and hourly) the last couple of years.
When I went to collect my pension 3 years ago I asked if my friend at Wonderland could collect, too, since his school said he shouldn't pay into it. The woman emphatically replied to me, "Yes, it's impossible that he hasn't paid into it. If he has an alien card, then he is paying into it."
He was too chicken to look into it then, thinking his employer would screw him on the rest of his pay if he did.
He left and came back though, and has worked at CDI ever since. As most people know, CDI claims that they don't need to pay pension either, "since you don't get it back." I told my friend that he does get it back, it's the law. I've heard other CDI defenders say that hourly workers don't get it, in response. I think that's BS as well, since I worked hourly at Direct English (Pagoda), and will collect my pension from it.
So, as my humble friend is leaving for Thailand in a month, again the question about his pension is coming up. Now, having a bitter experience with CDI recently, I think he's actually going to grow a pair and check with the pension office. Since he's "never paid into it", he's not sure he can get it back.
What say you? Can he get his pension refund (Canadian) for 3 or 4 years worked while "not paying" pension. Personally I believe he probably did pay into it, but the school scams its employees somehow, although I'm not sure how. |

Question..
I'm leaving in a week. My boss hasn't given me my e-ticket yet or contacted the pension advise to advise that I'm leaving. Should I force the issue and try to get to the pension office next week or is it best just to do all of this after I've returned to Canada?
Can I do it from Canada? I live in downtown Toronto very near the Korean consulate so it will be very easy for me to deal with them... I'd rather do that if need be but I'm not sure if I can deal with them instead of the pension office here directly.
Thanks! |

Is it possible to file from outside Korea? If so, how? Thanks for any help you can provide. |

This is the new pension English page.
Most of the answers people are asking are here.
If you "run" you can probably apply via overseas remittance, or through an agent. It looks like every company is required to put into the pension fund as well.

This thing about the bank book is bothering me. Can I just show them a check with my name, routing and account numbers? Is that all I need to bring in order to satisfy the account information? Do I need any other bank information? I don't do overseas remittance, so I've got no way to show them that. My statements are online.
Little help? |

Your bank at home should have a SWIFT code for wire transfers. BofA, for example: BOFAUS3N
Then, you need the routing number (specific to your home bank's area) and your account number. However, I recently did a wire transfer back home from Nonghyup and somehow it worked without the routing number. |

If you have a F5 visa, is the procedure still the same to get your pension refund ? |
