The Required Documents for Your Move to Croatia:
Moving between the UK and the EU is no longer the hassle-free process it once was due to Brexit. This is because borders and customs regulations have been reinstated for all forms of transportation. If you are relocating under the Transfer of Residence status and wish to avoid import VAT (at a rate of 25% of the value of your transported goods), there are several documents that must be prepared.
We are here to assist you with your post-Brexit move to Croatia and provide guidance on the essential paperwork required by customs officials. However, it is important to note that you must complete these documents yourself in order for them to be valid.
Before We Can Collect Your Goods, We will Need You to Provide the Following Documents:
Required a copy of either your ID card or passport.
A certificate from the local council in Croatia to confirm your residency. Alternatively, if approved by the EU customs agent, you may provide a document showing that you are an EU resident or intend to become one. For exampl
