Moving from the UK to Ireland

Ireland holds a unique position among European destinations for UK movers. As an English-speaking EU member state with deep cultural ties to Britain, it offers a remarkably smooth transition — particularly for those relocating for work in Dublin's booming tech sector or simply seeking a change of pace.

We cross to Ireland via the Holyhead–Dublin or Pembroke–Rosslare ferry services, and can collect your goods from anywhere in mainland Britain. Most moves to Dublin are completed within two days; moves to Cork, Galway or more remote areas of Ireland take an additional day.

Since Brexit, the UK is outside the EU customs union and moves from Great Britain to Ireland require customs documentation. Our team handles this fully. Importantly, goods moving between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland follow different rules under the Windsor Framework.

Irish Cities We Deliver To

Ireland's capital and Europe's fastest-growing tech city. Google, Meta, Apple and Amazon all have major European bases here, drawing thousands of UK professionals annually.
Cork
Ireland's second-largest city is growing rapidly. A vibrant food and arts scene with a strong pharmaceutical and tech sector.
Galway
The cultural heart of the west of Ireland. Popular with those seeking a slower pace of life, strong community ties and dramatic Atlantic scenery.

Key Considerations for Moving to Ireland

Our coordinators guide you through every step — but here's what to be aware of before your move.

Customs Since Brexit

Great Britain to Republic of Ireland moves now require customs declarations. Personal effects can qualify for duty-free import under Ireland's personal effects relief, subject to conditions.

PPS Number

Your Irish Personal Public Service number (PPS) is needed for employment, healthcare and many government services. Apply at your local Intreo (social welfare) office after arrival.

Northern Ireland Considerations

Moves from Northern Ireland to the Republic of Ireland follow different customs rules under the Windsor Framework. Speak to us about your specific situation when getting a quote.

Driving & Vehicle Import

You can use your UK driving licence in Ireland. Vehicles imported must be registered with the DVLA/Revenue and VRT (Vehicle Registration Tax) may be payable.

Ireland Removals — FAQs

Can't find the answer you're looking for? Contact our team.

How long does a removal from the UK to Ireland take?
Most moves to Dublin take two days — collection day one, ferry crossing and delivery day two. Cork, Galway and the west of Ireland typically take three days. We offer both day crossings and overnight ferries depending on your preference.
Do I need customs documentation for moving to Ireland?
Yes. Since Brexit, Great Britain is outside the EU customs area, so a UK export declaration and Irish customs import declaration are required. Ireland's Revenue authority offers a personal effects relief for qualifying moves — we'll advise if you're eligible.
Which ferry route do you use?
We primarily use the Holyhead–Dublin ferry (Irish Ferries or Stena Line), which is the most direct route for most of Britain. For south England or Wales collections, the Pembroke–Rosslare route is often more efficient.
Is moving to Ireland from Northern Ireland different?
Yes. The Windsor Framework means that goods moving between Northern Ireland and the Republic follow a different process than goods moving from Great Britain. Please mention your origin when requesting a quote and we'll explain the specific requirements.
Can I bring my UK-registered car on the ferry?
Yes, we can arrange vehicle transport alongside your household goods. Importing a UK-registered car to Ireland requires it to be re-registered and VRT (Vehicle Registration Tax) may be payable. We'll point you to the right Irish government resources.
