You also use to be able to access it all when your renounced your citizenship. But not anymore, which means I have paid all that out over 12 years and can't do anything with it until I'm 65. It won't grow for me, as I don't pay taxes or superannuation in Australia anymore.

When the company I was working for transitioned to the Czech Republic, they wanted to convert our pay over to the Czech koruna 1-1 conversion (laughter). At the time all the CEO/CIO where all getting paid in Euro's. They made it out so easy that we could easily get our super/retirement money from the Czech government when we retired. Granted nothing against the Czech people (love ya) but trying to keep track of a super fund in another country when you don't speak the native language (HA) would be more time than its worth.

Bumped into the CEO/CIO after I departed a couple of years and they offered the position again but agreed that they would never see their retirement fund from the Czech system.

>It won't grow for me

It will depend on your specific fund but the funds already in there should be invested in some way. If they aren't doing a terrible job the money will grow even without you putting more in.
