Import a vehicle into Ireland

All new motor vehicles and vehicles brought into Ireland are subject to Vehicle Registration Tax (VRT) and must be registered with the Revenue Commissioners.

If you are moving to Ireland or are already living here and you are importing a car or other vehicle, you will need to do three things before you can drive your vehicle in Ireland:

• Pay Vehicle Registration Tax (VRT) (unless you are exempt)
• Have motor insurance
• Pay motor tax
