Hi, I now live in Australia but worked in the UK between October 2010 to June 2013 (approx 2 years 8 months) and paid NI during this time. I've read that to be eligible to pay voluntary National Insurance (NI) contributions while living abroad, you typically need to have either:​ - Previously lived in the UK for a continuous period of 3 years - Paid at least 3 years of National Insurance contributions Is this 3 full years or can be part years over 3 calendar years? Would I be eligible to pay voluntary National Insurance contributions to qualify for any UK State Pension?
