Have you previously lived in a country outside the UK including your country of birth?

Hi , Filing ILR SET (O), Can anyone help with this question please:

Have you previously lived in a country outside the UK including your country of birth?
A. I said 'YES' and mentioned my birth country.
Query- I have visited many countries on business visa for max 1 month? Do I need to mention those visits as well.??

Thanks in advance

This is not about visits. It is about countries you LIVED in

Morning , Many Thanks for a advise.

Could you please clear one more doubt please as I am going to submit my ILR application tomorrow (i.e 09/07/2021)
I'm currently on the Tier 2 (General) visa and pay the Taxes and National Insurance (NI) through PAYE from 2016. However, I first came to the UK in 2006 on a work visa from 2006-2007 and went back to my home country. I have paid National insurance and claim back the taxes of those years.

When I am checking my national insurance records of 2007-2016 it stated that
You did not make any contributions this year
You can make up a the shortfall.
Pay a voluntary contribution of £880 by 5 April 2023.

Could you please advise if I need to pay the relevant amount to fill in this Gap from (2007-2016) in order to be eligible for ILR and would this affect my ILR application?

Many Thanks.

This has nothing to do with your ILR
