<p>Good to hear you are sailing. On the question of importing a boat I worked in Customs a long long time ago...There is in Ireland a provision for people returning from abroad to bring in household goods free. It is often used for example by members of our defence forces serving abroad [UN etc.] to bring back tax-free cars. The general rules that apply are - You must move your permanent address to Ireland [for min. 12 mts.] - you must have bought the goods 12 mts. before your return - you…</p>

<p>I see no reason why these regulations would not cover a boat I have seen them used for all sorts of things...</p>
<p>A shipping agent should know the full up-to-date story - well worth a phone call !!</p>
<p>I imagine other countries have something similar - we are surely not unique ?</p>
<p>Remember once you are legal in any european country you are legal in all... you might even shop around</p>
<p>Safe Sailing</p>

<p>On sea you will not use money - LOL! But for transit fees/visas, anchorages/harbourfees, agents, provisons, fuel, land transports, etc. (How did you optain your ship-papers in the Philippines? Check carefully, so they let you take the boat out of the country without to many problems. How about the import tax in Europe?).</p>
<p>There are transit corridores. Check J. Cornells "noonsite" or contact below:</p>

<p>So you want finaly leave the Philippines?</p>
<p>Hard to say, do you mean just basic living and maintenance costs for you 2 and the boat or total living costs, eventually with boat insurances, healthinsurance, excursions, reserve for spares and breakdowns, etc? For only basic costs I'd budget not less the 1000 Euros per person and month plus some reserve if something goes wrong. Cheers Wave</p>
