"Am I missing something or have the conditions for Class 2 have been tweaked and the requirement to have started work on arrival abroad (eg Ireland) is no longer there?"
There's posts in the HMRC fora suggesting they are mainly concerned with the situation post 2006. Also people report paying class 2 or 3 depending on what they were doing here.
It's possible people have conflated the working in UK "immediately" before leaving with working in Ireland immediately after arriving. I've seen no official reference to the latter.
But seems for post 2006 years it's class 2 to buy back when working and class 3 when not
Yes I have a friend who has been asked to pay class 2 on all the years since 2006, she has been working since then full time. After she left the uk she never set a foot in Ireland or the EU for years and did casual type work with no insurance record. It has taken me weeks to realise that no you don't need to have started work in Ireland immediately, what counts is what you did post 2006. So many people seem to think that and there does not seem to be much clarification about it online.
I said "Don't Know" and it didn't affect my applicationre "Do you intend to return to the UK to live in the future?": Is there anything wrong with saying No or is I Do Not Know a safer answer?
No.do you have to send in a record of your Irish PRSI
Yes. Keep an eye on the payment dates.can I pay the class 3 years at a later stage
