Dunno how the above works. . when you are not living in the UK,

but here is the NI people's website, have a look and give then a ring about your situation. OR visit you nearest Job Centre, they can help

http://www.dwp.gov.uk/lifeevent/benefits/ni_number.asp

I know soon after you get a job, NI deductions are taken from you salary, even while you are waiting for your permanant NI number, atemporary NI number is allocated. It used to consist of TN + your date of birth and then F or M if male or female, so if you are male born 2 October 1982, it would appear on your payslip as TN021082M

I have been informed that if you are not a UK citizen and you decide to return to live in your own country you can claim back part if not most of you NI contributions (not 100% on this)
