Hi guys,
Just wondering if anyone has any experience of having a foreign car in the Netherlands?
I have got a new job and will be posted for a year from Norway to the Netherlands and had 3 options with my car....
1) Sell it. (It is an A2 so not easy and has had much work done and a significant investment made in bringing it back to tip-top condition)
2) Store it for a year in Norway/UK (not tempted as it restricts my freedom too much and a car should be used!)
3) take the car with me to the Netherlands with me for the duration of my stay
My employer wishes to bring me to the Dutch headquarters to learn the business and so I have been posted to Holland for (up to) one year.
Does anyone know how easy/complicated it is to bring a Norwegian car into the Netherlands for a one year stay?
I assume from looking at the UK interpretation of EU rules that it should be a tax exempt import unless sold providing that it is in the country for less than 2 years.
It will need an MOT on arrival and as I understand Dutch plates very quickly (within a month??).
Is it a correct assumption that the sidelights should not be enabled with the headlights in Holland? If so I will need to fix the Norwegian wiring.
It would be great if anyone could share any knowledge on the topic!
