Hi mewtight3 Wright,
If you haven’t already registered your self employment with National Insurance you’ll need to do this first.
If you need to register as self employed you can do so here:
Register for Self Assessment if you’re self-employed
Please note, you need to keep a note of the start and end dates your self employment for your own records.
It’s not the responsibility of HMRC to keep these details.
You’ll then be able to complete the CA3837 form you’ll need the start date of your self employment that we hold on record through your registration.
You can find the application and more information here:
Apply for a certificate to confirm you will pay UK National Insurance while self-employed abroad temporarily (CA3837)
Thank you.
