''What are the Residency Requirements?
For VRT purposes, you must have had your normal residence as defined below, outside the State at the time of transfer. In the case of a transfer from outside the EU,
you must have had your normal residence outside the EU for a continuous period of at least 12 months prior to transfer.
''
Normal Residence means:
the place where you usually lived, for at least 185 days in the year ending on the date of transfer, because of occupational and personal ties
if you had no occupational ties, the place where you usually lived for at least 185 days in the year ending on the date of transfer, because of personal ties
if your occupational ties were in a different country from your personal ties then the country of your personal ties is taken as your normal residence if you returned there regularly (i.e. for most of your non-working days).
What evidence is required in respect of the Vehicle?
You are required to prove that you had possession of and actually used the vehicle abroad for at least 6 months before transfer and that the appropriate local taxes have been paid and not refunded. This proof will usually consist of:
the vehicle registration document
the certificate of insurance
the sales invoice, receipt of purchase or other similar document
evidence of the date on which the vehicle was brought into the State (e.g. sailing ticket)
You will also be required to produce evidence of use of the vehicle abroad. This evidence will consist of, for example:
service and maintenance records
fuel receipts
documentation that indicates that annual circulation and registration taxes have been paid etc.
such evidence as may be requested in individual cases.
