I am trying to get information about applying for a pension contributions refund RE: the Australian-Korean Pensions Agreement. Has anyone had any experience yet. I have tried the Oz Embassy in Seoul site, which refers you to the Centrelink site, unfortunately I lost the trail there. It does mention the agreement and the process for applying for an Age Pension but nothing about applying for the refund. I have been back in Thailand for 18 months and would prefer not to have to make a special trip to Korea to lodge my application.

I'd ask the same question on Dave's ESL Cafe Korean forums if you haven't already.
