PensionHunter is independent and not affiliated with the institutions named here.
Turkish citizens abroad can obtain the e-Devlet password at embassies and consulates; foreign nationals can only obtain it at PTT offices inside Turkey, so their route is a written request to SGK. The BES private pension layer has its own account query on e-Devlet via EGM and Takasbank, and dormant BES money is forfeited to the Treasury after ten years without an application. Telephone: ALO 170. A former member living abroad starts at the official source, checked on 10 August 2026. Access note on record: Requires an e-Devlet password; citizens can obtain one at embassies and consulates, foreign nationals only at PTT offices in Turkey.
