Other types of work in EEA countries
As well at the types of employment described here, you also should check whether your situation is covered by any special contribution arrangements.
Employed and working in two or more EEA countries
If you are employed in two or more EEA countries, but not as an International transport worker, you are insured under the UK scheme if you either:
- normally live in the UK, and the UK is one of the EEA countries you work in, or you normally live in the UK and work for several companies that are based in different EEA countries; or
- you do not normally live in any EEA country you work in, but the employer you work for is based in the UK.
If you think that this applies to you, please contact the HMRC Residency, giving details of your work to find out more.
International transport workers
You may work as part of the travelling or flying staff of an employer that carries goods or passengers by road, rail, air or inland waterways. If you work in two or more EEA countries, you are insured under the UK scheme if:
- you live in the UK and you work mainly in the UK, even if your employer does not have a registered office or place of business in the UK; or
- you do not work mainly in the country where you live and the employer you work for has its registered office or place of business in the UK; or
- you do not work mainly in the country where you live and the employer you work for has its registered office or place of business in another EEA country but you have a contract to work for a branch office in the UK; or
If none of these apply to you, you are insured under the scheme of the EEA country where your employer has its main office.
If you think that this applies to you, please contact the HMRC Residency, giving details of your work to find out more.
