Can you still make National Insurance contributions if you live and work outside the UK?
And how do you go about it? My friend and I are both moving overseas (I'm off to the Balearics, she's off to Chile) and we both want to know whether or not we will still be entitled to voluntarily contribute to our NI funds. I'm struggling to find any info on this. Can someone either point me in the right direction or let me know if continuing to pay National Insurance is a viable option? Thank you.

They will need your NI number.
If it is pension you are thinking about then the rules are changing soon and I believe it will become not worth paying voluntary contributions if you have already paid in for 30 years.
If you will be working the rate of contributions is about £110 per annum, if not going to be working then it is about £350 pa.
I fax everything to them on 00 44 191 22 54215 to speed things up.
Good luck with the move
of course you can pay. this is the exchequer, they ll take your money wherever you are. and theyll probably accept paypal.

Yes no problem. Have a look at the link below.
yes you can & it may be sensible if you intend to return to the UK or live within the EC,as you are leaving the EC at present.It also depends on how old you are & your contributions record to date,as ultimately the amount of state pension you receive is based on your contribution record i.e how many years you have contributed.
