How Do I Move to Ireland?
When planning an international move, one of the first questions is often: where do I begin?
Relocating to Ireland can feel overwhelming at first, but with the right guidance, the process becomes much more manageable. Start by researching your destination, understanding visa and residency requirements, and gathering important documents such as passports, proof of residence, employment or immigration documentation, and any required customs paperwork.
Once you've decided to move, Laser International takes it from there. A dedicated relocation manager will assess your shipment, provide an accurate quote, and develop a customized packing and shipping plan. We'll coordinate transportation, assist with customs requirements, and oversee every step of the process from pickup in the United States through delivery to your new home in Ireland.

What Regulations Do I Need to Know When Moving to Ireland?
Moving your belongings to Ireland requires compliance with Irish customs requirements. Documentation requirements can vary depending on your residency status, citizenship, the nature of your move, and the items being imported.
Ireland may allow qualifying household goods to enter under transfer-of-residence relief from Customs Duty and VAT when specific requirements are met. Ireland Revenue notes that qualifying household effects generally must have been owned and used for at least six months, and the person transferring residence must meet applicable residency and timing requirements. Supporting documentation may include proof of residence abroad, proof of the move to Ireland, and evidence of ownership and use of the goods.
Because customs regulations can change, we recommend reviewing the latest information through FIDI's Customs Guides before your move: https://www.fidi.org/customs-guides.

“Shipped a large sofa and a bunch of other stuff to Ireland. Simply amazing. Brilliant price. The team that came and wrapped everything were super efficient. I was given regular updates on the delivery and it came a couple of weeks earlier than expected. Everything was perfect and the guys that unloaded in Ireland were amazing. I thought the sofa was not going to fit, but the guys came up with a plan and made it work. Will use these again for sure. Highly recommend.”
