Your journey with us:

As soon as you open the door to our driver, you’ll be greeted with a smile. He’ll be experienced and trained in heavy lifting, helping you carry all your possessions safely to the van and securing them neatly inside. As soon as that’s done, Croatia here we come!

Naturally you’ll be concerned about your belongings. Don’t worry – we’ll update you regularly as we travel, and when we’re two hours away from your new home, we’ll phone you to let you know when we’ll be there.

Two hours later, the same friendly driver who helped to pack your possessions will arrive, ready to help you unpack them again and carry them inside. It really is that simple!

Documents you’ll need to move to Croatia:

Moving between the UK and EU is not the paperwork-free experience it used to be before Brexit. The reason for that is reintroduction of borders and customs to all transport. There’s quite a few documents required in order to relocate under the Transfer of Residence status and be exempt from import VAT (at the rate of 25% of the value of transported goods). We will gladly help you with your post-Brexit removal to Croatia and advise you on the basic paperwork required by the customs officials; however the documents have to be completed by you to be valid.

We will only be able to collect your goods after receiving the following documents:

• A copy of ID card or Passport.
• A certificate from the local council in Croatia to certify residency. Alternatively, suppose the EU customs agent agrees, it might be enough for you to supply a document confirming that you are an EU resident or intend to become one, for example:
  • If you live with your family in the EU, please ask them to complete and sign this template and provide a copy of their personal ID and a utility bill with the address
  • Or if you are employed in the EU, please provide your EU employment contract.
  • Or if you have living arrangements in the EU, please provide a utility bill with your name and address on it or your tenancy agreement, or the property ownership deed.
• A detailed, signed packing list with the value, size and weight of each listed item. Please fill in all fields provided in VanOne Insurance Form.
• A UK certificate of residence or other evidence that you’ve lived in the UK at least for the last 12 months (e.g. 12 months of council tax bills or bank statements showing address).
• A self-certificate (please use this template) to inform the customs authorities that you’ve used the household objects at your usual residence in the UK for more than six months and that you won’t sell, rent or pledge them after receiving them in your new place and that you aim to remain an EU resident for at least one year. 
• A signed authorization for the customs clearance agent to act as your direct representative. A blank form will be supplied to you by VanOne after you confirm your booking.

You must print and sign all the documents and have them ready for the driver in a large envelope. Please also supply completed documents electronically via the customer portal for verification.

Other than the documents above you will also need to fill out the CMR form but you will receive it from our driver on the day of your move.

If you want to speed up the process or find out more you might want to contact your local customs office in Croatia.

You can also visit this government resource for more information about bringing personal effects to Croatia (or the Dutch Government website for information in the English language).
