EMMIGRATION

[gonesurfin]

Don't forget you can reduce your NI contributions and still be entitled to a full pension. Information on paying voluntary contributions can be found in leaflet NI38. I think you can access this document from:
www.hmrc.gov.uk/leaflets/nic.htm
Pages 13/14 of this leaflet explain the conditions that you must meet to pay at class 2 rate. If you are not employed/self-employed abroad, then you must pay at the class 3 rate.
