Hi, Similarly I paid Class 2 national insurance contributions for previous years whilst I was abroad on 1st May 2024. I have phoned 5 times and contacted 3 times over live chat as well HMRC reps. Every time I get a response that the payment has been received and it is awaiting allocation, my request is always escalated to the international team and should be a few weeks before I see my records updated (which never happens). This is already 26 weeks and counting. I just need a concrete answer when I should check again. Note under https://www.tax.service.gov.uk/guidance/Check-when-you-can-expect-a-reply-from-HMRC/question/national-insurance-contact there is no option to check when to expect an answer for paying online Class 2 Voluntary National Insurance Contributions whilst abroad (that I can see at least). I would really appreciate an updated response here as this is now becoming quite stressful and I would appreciate any help here. Thanks
