Moving homes across Northern Ireland and the Irish Sea since 2016
A move to Ireland isn't one type of move. Where you start changes the crossing, the paperwork and the planning.
| Route | How it crosses | Paperwork to plan for |
|---|---|---|
| Great Britain to the Republic of Ireland | Irish Sea ferry | Crosses an international customs boundary. If you're moving home, you can usually apply to Irish Revenue for Transfer of Residence relief before your goods travel |
| Northern Ireland to the Republic of Ireland | By road, no ferry | Generally simpler for household goods. We confirm what applies to your move at survey |
| Great Britain to Northern Ireland | Irish Sea ferry | Stays within the UK |
Rules change, so check the current position at revenue.ie before you move. Our UK to Ireland removals checklist sets out what to sort and when.
London is one of the most common starting points for a move to Ireland. We collect from London and across England, Scotland and Wales, then handle the crossing and delivery under one fixed price.
Smaller moves can travel as a part load, sharing space on a scheduled run. Because we run between Great Britain and Ireland in both directions, a move from Great Britain can often travel on a run that's already heading back across the Irish Sea.
Confirm your move date and book your free survey with CrissCross. Start your ToR application with Irish Revenue if you are moving from Great Britain. Gather proof of residency and an inventory of items being moved.
Confirm your fixed-price quote. Book your if required. Confirm utilities, change of address, and any storage requirements with us. Check your ToR application status if applicable.
Pack personal items and documents you will carry yourself. Confirm move day timings with your CrissCross move manager. Ensure parking and access is arranged at both ends. Keep customs documents and inventory accessible on move day.
From our Lisburn depot, this is a road move with no ferry leg. We collect from Belfast, Lisburn, Bangor, Antrim and the surrounding towns, and deliver to Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick, Waterford and the rest of the Republic.
For more on this route, see moving to Ireland from Northern Ireland or our Belfast to Dublin run.
We also cover moves from England, Scotland and Wales into Northern Ireland. See moves from England into Northern Ireland for how that route works.
For more on sailings, door-to-door timings and insurance across the water, see how the ferry leg works.
Boxes on a ferry move get handled more and travel further than on a local job, so packing quality matters. Our packing service covers full or partial packing with quality materials, and our guide to packing for a move across the Irish Sea explains what travels best.
If your property in Ireland isn't ready on move day, our self-contained storage units hold your belongings until it is.
