Can I ask any of our members who are living in the Philippines whose partner/wife worked here in England before leaving to go back to the Philippines.

Do they or you still pay NAT insurance contribution's for your partner's State Pension?
If so, how much is it per week/month and how long have you to pay it for to get some kind of state pension??

I have read that you need 30 years of paying in plus it's around £2 to £3 per week.

Now I have no idea if this is old or this is right either.

Any help or advice would be welcome, thank you.

As far as I know you can pay voluntary contributions for as long as you wish.

You'll need 35 qualifying years to get the full new State Pension. You'll get a proportion of the new State Pension if you have between 10 and 35 qualifying years. You have 20 qualifying years on your National Insurance record after 6 April 2016. You divide £159.55 by 35 and then multiply by 20. You can also continue to contribute to your national insurance payments which will then add to your qualifying years...
