For information about your UK National Insurance (NI) contributions while abroad you can contact the HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC).

The centre can help you:

provide a statement of how much NI contributions you have already paid
tell you if you have to pay UK NI contributions for any period that you have worked, or will work, outside the UK as either an employee or a self-employed person
give you basic information about health care if you are moving or travelling outside the UK
send you a Basic State Pension Forecast as long as you are not within four months of UK State Pension age

You can find out more information about your NI contributions from the HMRC's helpline or from its website - details for both are below.
