Liam, I brought in a 3.5 tonne motorhome and the annual tax was €70. If you are not on the road with it much, you may well get away with it for 7 weeks but turtle77 is correct. Good luck with it. Slim
When you import a car into this country, you need to register it with the NCT within 3 days for a booking.
Then you must change the plates within 30 days of bringing it in at the NCT centre. www.ncts.ie
You will need invoices etc.
Hey Slim,
On that note - does the amount of VRT and Road Tax you pay go on the weight of the van if it is registered as a camper?
This seems to get more and more complicated by the day!
Ok so here is the story...
My girlfriend is English and has her present car insured in UK etc. We plan on buying a campervan in the UK together and then bringing it to Ireland for 2 months before we travel Europe in it for 2 months.
So...
I am trying to find out what our best plan is:
Most cars/vans you buy in the UK come with 6 months tax and 12 months MOT so I think our best bet is probably to insure it in the UK and then drive it to Ireland and use it in Ireland (taxed, registered, insured in the UK) for 2 months and then take it round Europe.
I am guessing this is the best plan and that we should just make sure the UK insurance company knows we are taking it round Europe (including Ireland) for 4-5 months.
In September when we move to Ireland permanently we can register it in Ireland and insure it in Ireland.
Is this our best option?
