Moving Your Things
Moving to a new country can be one of the most rewarding moves of your life - although there is a lot to think about. Read below to learn how you can easily transport your belongings to the Isle of Man.
Transport
Moving house can be stressful but the Isle of Man's ferry service makes moving your things a lot easier and cheaper. You can arrange for larger transport vehicles and vans to transfer your belongings. Most pets can be taken on-board too!
The Isle of Man Ferry is a great option if you are moving from the UK, Europe, or Ireland. We have daily services from Heysham (Lancashire), Liverpool/Birkenhead, Dublin and Belfast. You can drive your car or van on board and relax as you journey to your new home.
Of course, if you are coming from further afield, you will need to fly. Flying is the quickest and, for many, the most convenient way to get here. The Isle of Man Airport, Ronaldsway, has daily flights to and from England, Ireland, Northern Ireland and Scotland making it ideal for international connections.
You should check with your carrier about luggage fees and limitations. The Isle of Man is not at a loss for shopping. From hardware and furniture stores to electronic shops, we have it all - so you can always pack light and replenish when you arrive!

Bringing your car
All UK, Channel Island, Irish or foreign registered motor vehicles brought into the Isle of Man must be re-registered in the Island at the earliest opportunity.
You must submit an application form for both registration of the vehicle and its first licence, current registration documents, and certificate of insurance to the post office. Under certain circumstances, you may need to present a ‘road worthiness certificate’.
If you are bringing a motor vehicle from outside the UK, you will also need a Customs Clearance Certificate.
