VerifiedGet matched with vetted international mover We match you with only accredited partner for your route: fewer calls, less stress, and a clearer quote.
In short: A move from the UK to Bray is matched to one FIDI-certified partner mover, free and with no obligation to book. Goods travel by ferry and road, usually via the Holyhead to Dublin Port crossing. Since Brexit, a move from Great Britain to Bray is an EU import, so Transfer of Residence relief on Form C&E 1076 can remove import duty and the 23% Irish VAT when you qualify.
Part-load (shared) and full-load options are available, with customs handled on Form C&E 1076 through Revenue.
A move to Bray from the UK uses the Holyhead to Dublin Port crossing, run by Irish Ferries and Stena Line at about 3 hours 15 minutes. From Dublin Port, the van takes the M50 south and then the M11 and N11 to Bray. The town is about 35 kilometres from Dublin Port, a drive of around 35 to 45 minutes. The M11 has a Bray interchange on the northern side of the town. Bray is the largest town in County Wicklow and sits on the east coast about 20 kilometres south of Dublin city centre.
Bray is served by the DART, the electrified coastal commuter rail line. The DART station is on the seafront near the Victorian promenade, which was developed in the 19th century as a seaside resort. The promenade runs along the coast from the seafront to the foot of Bray Head, the dramatic headland at the south of the town. Properties near the seafront are in Victorian and Edwardian terraces. Properties on the slopes of Bray Head are on steeper residential roads that narrow as they climb.
The town has extensive modern estates inland, particularly in the Little Bray and Killarney Road areas. These have standard road access. The older seafront streets and the Bray Head slopes need access confirmation before the mover books the vehicle size.
International Removals Companies connects your enquiry with one FIDI-certified partner mover for the UK to Bray route. We are not a removal company. The service is free.
Bray has a Victorian seafront with older terrace streets, a distinctive headland with steep roads, and large modern inland estates. Access depends entirely on which part of Bray the delivery is heading to.
Since Brexit, a move from Great Britain to Bray is an EU import. A customs declaration is needed when the goods arrive in Ireland. Revenue’s Transfer of Residence relief, claimed on Form C&E 1076, removes import duty and the 23% Irish VAT on used personal belongings if you qualify. Your FIDI-certified partner mover files the form on your behalf about two weeks before your goods arrive.
The Common Travel Area covers people, not goods. Your household goods still go through the customs process when they arrive from Great Britain. Transfer of Residence relief on Form C&E 1076, not the Common Travel Area, is what removes the import duty and the 23% Irish VAT.
To qualify, you generally need to have owned and used the goods for at least six months and be establishing permanent residence in Ireland. After arriving in Bray, apply for a PPS number — the Personal Public Service number — at your local Intreo centre. You will need it for Revenue, banking and most official matters. Always include the Eircode for your delivery address in the enquiry.
The Republic of Ireland uses the euro (EUR), not sterling. Moving to Bray means moving into a euro economy. Deposits, charges at the Irish end and day-to-day costs are all in euro once you arrive.
International Removals Companies works with currency exchange partners. We do not provide currency exchange ourselves. If you need to convert sterling to euro for your move, we can connect you with a partner who can help. This is separate from the removals service and carries no obligation.

FIDI FAIM is the main quality standard for international removal companies. Partner movers pass an independent audit by Ernst and Young every three years, covering more than 200 quality checks. For a move that crosses an EU customs border, that standard is the one to look for.
Moves to Bray use the Holyhead to Dublin Port crossing, run by Irish Ferries and Stena Line at about 3 hours 15 minutes. From Dublin Port, the van takes the M50 south and then the M11 and N11 to Bray. Bray is about 35 kilometres from Dublin Port via this route, a drive of around 35 to 45 minutes. The M11 has a Bray interchange on the northern side of the town, connecting to the N11 dual carriageway through Bray. Bray is the largest town in County Wicklow and the second largest on the east coast commuter belt after Drogheda.
Yes. Bray is served by the DART (Dublin Area Rapid Transit), the electrified coastal commuter rail line. The DART runs from Malahide and Howth in north County Dublin, through Dublin city centre, and south along the coast to Bray. The town has a medieval church at its historic core, though its main character is Victorian seaside resort, developed from the 1850s onwards. Bray is not the southern terminus of the DART — that is Greystones, a separate town five kilometres further south. The DART station in Bray is on the seafront, close to the Victorian promenade and the town centre. The station area has a mix of older Victorian and Edwardian terraces.
Bray Head is a headland that rises steeply at the southern end of Bray town. The Bray to Greystones Cliff Walk runs around the head along the cliffside. Properties on the slopes of Bray Head are reached by steep residential roads on the southern side of town. These roads are narrower than the flat estate roads north of the town centre. Confirm road width and access for any address on the Bray Head slopes or the Putland Road area before the mover books the vehicle size.
Transfer of Residence relief is claimed on Form C&E 1076 from Revenue.

Your FIDI-certified partner mover files the form on your behalf about two weeks before your goods arrive at Dublin Port. Check revenue.ie for the current conditions.

The Common Travel Area covers people, not goods. Your household goods still go through the customs process when they arrive at Dublin Port from Great Britain. Transfer of Residence relief on Form C&E 1076, not the Common Travel Area, is what removes the import duty and the 23% Irish VAT.
An Eircode is the Irish postcode, a seven-character code unique to each address. Bray is a large and densely developed coastal town with many streets and apartment blocks. The Eircode confirms the exact address, including individual flats within a terrace close to the Victorian seafront or in a modern estate. Bray uses the A98 Eircode routing key. Always include the full seven-character Eircode in the enquiry.
