    Thanks.
    You can transfer your portfolio in specie. As far as I am aware, because you are simply transfering the ownership of the shares and not selling them, you are not liable to CGT. It is a pretty hefty fee to do so though. Degrio charge the following:
    Transfer portfolio from DEGIRO € 10.00 per position + External Costs

    The receiving party will also charge you.
    May I ask why you are looking at transferring out? Irish based brokers are not the best as far as fees are concerned.
