Transfer of Residence Proof

The Revenue Commissioners provide this list as a help to prospective immigrants and vehicle importers.

If you are a non-EU citizen and want to live in Ireland even without working here, click here.


Please submit the following evidence of support of your claims for exemption from Vehicle Registration Tax.

1. The Vehicle Registration Certificate or an export Certificate.
2. Evidence of the vehicle's insurance cover abroad for the previous 6 month period.
3. Importer's driving licence.
4. Invoice relating to the purchase of the Vehicle or the vehicle's service record.
5. Sailing ticket.
6. Evidence of sale of property abroad.
7. Evidence of property rental agreement abroad.
8. Evidence regarding payment of taxes abroad (P45/poll tax receipt etc.)

9. Evidence of day to day living abroad (household bills, medical records. work contracts etc.)

Please note a new requirement as of 2005: Customs officials are now asking for a utility bill from both 6 months prior to your move and 1 month prior to your move. They're trying to make sure you're legit when you say you're moving to Ireland and not just a fly-by-night importer who sets up for one month overseas before bringing in a container-load full of tax-free goods. One subscriber reported she was asked for 18-24 months of an overseas utility bill!

With regard to your intention to reside permanently in Ireland, please submit:

1. Evidence of the purchase of a property here or evidence of a rental agreement here.
2. Evidence of an offer of employment or evidence of registraion for social assistance.
3. Where a family transferring includes children, evidence of the children's enrolment in school.
4. Evidence of the removal of household effects and furniture from abroad.
5. Other evidence of setting up a residence (eg. ESB contract, bank account, telephone connection etc.)
