You need an invoice/receipt for the VRT appointment, so if you make a hand written receipt with the sellers address as Northern Ireland you don’t need a ferry ticket

So find an address on Google Maps or make one up.

Yeh.. This might be why you aren't allowed buy a UK reg car in Ireland as an Irish resident. Well the inverse, an Irish dealer isn't allowed to sell you a UK reg car. They have to vrt it, to sell it to you.

Or was it a private purchase?

Either way it's kind of bogey.. But as the above says, all you can do is make it up

If you didn’t have a ferry ticket they used to use the last day the tax expired in the UK as the date the car entered Ireland but I don’t think they still allow this

Hi,

I have recently cleared customs and payed VAT and am now trying to vrt a vintage 400cc motorcycle (34 years old)

The veichile is a non runner on UK plates and hasn't been runing since 8/12/2015 it was imported by a van from NI 07 December 2015 the last date of MOT.

I plan on bringing it to the mechanic as soon as it is vrt'd, however;

I have a few questions in regards to this bike

● Is it to late to VRT(bought it on the 7th of JAN Y 2025)

●If so Is the VRT chargeable for late registration,

●What documents are needed to VRT this bike

●The bikes engine has been replaced and the engine number is NOT known on the V5C is this okay that this cant be filled in for the irish logbook

Lads can you not take this to the relevant thread posted above? This is the Boards Feedback Forum.

@bikerzay as you've already been recommended to do, you need to post this in a forum that's related to the topic. Not a completely unrelated one like this. As you keep responding to this instead, I'm closing this to force to post in the proper place.
