The question
Can I transfer my insurance to an imported car, or do I have to wait for the NCT and VRT first?

Hi Laura,
The conditions will vary by insurer, but generally yes, this should be possible - though only on a temporary basis. You may need the car's VIN as well as its foreign registration, and you will need to book it in for its NCT/VRT inspection within seven days of arrival as usual.
