Transfer of Residence relief

How long in advance of moving to Great Britain from outside the UK should one apply for Transfer of Residence relief? If an application has not been made in advance, or has been made so close to the date of travel that it has not been fully approved in time, can an application be made and approved at the GB port of entry?

Hello Thomas The link below will be helpful. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/transfer-of-residence-to-great-britain If you use a shipping company , they would typically use your TOR01 approval reference for an import declaration at a cost. If you are bringing the goods personally , provide the TOR 01 and go through the red channel at the border , with the paper work listed in the lonk above.
