PAYE and NI

[NotAllThere]

-- Will it give me the same option if I relocate to another country?
-- When I relocate, and reach retirement age, will I be able to get those 9 years as a pension?
-- Are the remaining years that I have to work 21, so I can get a pension?

1. Makes no difference if you do it within the time limit. So do it now.
2. Yes (subject to legislation changes) - this was new to me, I hadn't thought about it at all.
3. You can't get your state pension, AIUI, until retirement age. Which will probably be 110 by the time you get there.
