Time to pay NI top ups after decision

Hi Folks,
in 2023 I made a first application to top up my NI contributions back to 2006 as I have been overseas for a lot of the time. I know applications for that had to be in by 01 April this year. My third submission of the same form (I have reached the front of the queue twice now and their response was to send me the same form again, thus delaying their decision)  was submitted in September 2024. I have just checked progress today and it's telling me to expect a response in November 2025. But I wonder does anybody know how long after the response do we have to make any payment that is due?  Thanks

    If it is for contributions for years prior to April 2019 then I believe it will be 30 days. That is gleaned from "chatter" and not from an official source.  If for anything 2019-20 onwards then you will have until April 2026 to pay at the price quoted.
