Relocating with possessions

How to move your possessions to Bristol from overseas.

If you are moving to the UK you will need to get a Transfer of Residency reference number: apply for a transfer of residence relief (ToR1) on the GOV.UK website.

Your relocation or shipping company should ask you for this reference number, so they can arrange for your possessions to clear UK customs.

You should consider what items you wish to bring with you to Bristol. Depending on where you will be living, are furniture and fittings provided and how much storage space you will have either at home or in your workplace? You will then need to arrange to transport them here, whether by land, sea or air. Find GOV.UK guidance on moving personal belongings to the UK
