I am informed by Revenue that, for a person with a normal residence outside of the State, a temporary exemption from the requirement to register for a period not exceeding 12 months may be granted under a number of conditions including that the vehicle is taxed and registered abroad, owned by a person established outside the State and is not driven by a person except with the permission of Revenue.
Vehicles driven by State residents are generally required to be registered in the State. However, a State resident may apply for temporary exemption if they are employed by an employer established and trading in another member State or if they are self-employed and have a business that is principally trading in another Member State.
