My query on national insurance is complex and cannot be dealt with an online chatbot. Whenever I request to speak to an adviser on HMRC Online I get this response "Our advisers are not available to discuss your query at the moment." Have real advisers stopped providing service on HMRC Online?

I am a non resident landlord of 2 properties located in the UK. These properties are currently rented to tenants via a property agent in the UK who markets and manages the properties for me. Do I qualify to make voluntary Class 2 National Insurance contributions?

I live abroad and recently retired from full time employment. Post retirement I remain of a landlord of two properties in the UK which I will continue to receive rental income. I have owned these two properties for more than 10 years and have included the net rental income (property income less allowable expenses) in my annual UK tax returns. This rental income is my main source of income in the UK. Can I continue to pay Class 2 Voluntary Contributions? Thank you.

I am a international student and have been studying medicine in the UK for 5 years on a student visa. This March I applied for my National Insurance Number from HMRC which I have since received (in the form of official letter from HMRC). I have graduated and received an offer of employment from the NHS. I have used the National Insurance Number for my job application including certificate of sponsorship. I have converted my student visa to a Tier 2 visa and just received my Tier 2 Visa (Health and Social Care) from UKVI. I noticed my National Insurance Number in my visa was not correct and called UKVI who informed me to contact the Department of Works and Pension or HMRC as my National Insurance Number has been changed to the one they have. Is this possible? Please advise what I need to do to clarify the situation. As far as I am aware the National Insurance Number I recevied back in March was exclusive to me and cannot be changed.
