Hi,
If you live or work abroad (or have previously)
To pay any voluntary contributions you must have either:
- previously lived in the UK for 3 years in a row or
- paid contributions or had Class 2 contributions treated as having been paid for at least 3 years
To pay Class 2 voluntary contributions both of the following must also apply:
- you worked in the UK immediately before leaving
- you’re currently working abroad (or you worked while you were abroad)
Juvenile Class 3 Starting Credits will not satisfy the condition "had Class 2 contributions treated as having been paid for at least 3 years.
Thank you.
