None. Jesus and Paul never met in person.

Jesus promised Paul that he would suffer many things for Christ's sake:

16For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.

Jesus said this to Ananias regarding Paul, then named Saul, when He was reassuring him that it was 'safe' to go and visit this notorious persecutor of Christians. This may have been in the early days of his Christian walk, or in the years he spent in seclusion before his missionary ministry. In any case Paul received his ministry and Apostolic authority direct from the master, as well as the forewarning of what he was in for.

=== === 23Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me.24But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God. The Holy Spirit, the comforter sent by Christ to bless Paul's ministry confirmed, these words to Paul who was strengthened in the assurance that he was not alone in what he was about to suffer. Paul also never forgot that he was himself a persecutor of the church and caused pain to others, and he understood the misguided zeal of those who opposed him.

How could Paul have become an Apostle when he did not meet the criteria of having been with Jesus from the beginning of his ministry until his death and resurrection like Matthias was?

Jesus had twelve disciples/ apostles who were the original men who traveled and was taught by Jesus. These men had a large part in Jesus' ministry and were to carry on his teachings, which they did. Matthias was also a disciple of Jesus during this time and was counted as one of the original apostles when he was confirmed in the Book of Acts. Later we see a few other men in the New Testament who are called apostles, Paul being one of them. They indeed were apostles but were not of the group who were with Jesus in His ministry on earth. Barnabas and James, the Lord's brother were both called apostles.
