Have been trying to research this - Nothern Ireland is subject to additional rules due to the border and EU. I believe there is a form required  if you wish to go there on holiday or keep a mainland car there for sometime. Something to do with Brexit

Oh come on, now you're just making this up as you go along!  A form required to go on holiday to Northern Ireland???  From the mainland???  If you're referring to the Electronic Travel Authorisation, then a 5 second google brings this up:

"For tourism to Northern Ireland, most visitors will need an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA). This digital permission to travel is required for those who don't need a UK visa and is in addition to a valid passport. British and Irish citizens are exempt from needing an ETA."

Do yourself a favour and quit while you're behind.

It is not a form for the driver.  

It applies if you are importing a car from GB to NI. due to the Windsor Agreement after Breit.

The OP has not indicated if he is  there long term or on a short visit.

@sheramber - if you read what I've highlighted, you'll see I was pointing out the statement about requiring a form to go on holiday, NOT about importing a car to NI.

Grey_critic has made three comments on this thread:

In the first, he confused Northern Ireland with the Republic of Ireland.

In the second, they said the OP requires agreement with VWFS to remove the vehicle to NI - when I asked for the source of this info, there was no reply.

In the third, they state that a form is required to go on holiday to NI, which I'm calling out as incorrect nonsense for any British or Irish citizens.

Read https://www.gov.uk/bringing-goods-into-uk-personal-use/travelling-between-great-britain-and-northern-ireland for info on permanently bringing a car from GB to NI.

***In the first, he confused Northern Ireland with the Republic of Ireland.***

No confusion but as sheramber pointed out there is the Windsor agreement (I could not recall the name at the time) but my reading was that people going on holiday to Ireland require the equivalent of the Green Card for that reason.

Permission from Leasing companies is dependent on where the OP says the vehicle is kept - just like insurance. If he wants  to move the vehicle to another location (NI in this case) on a semi-permanent basis then they need to be told just like your insurers.

In the third, they state that a form is required to go on holiday to NI, which I'm calling out as incorrect nonsense for any British or Irish citizens.

You are being intentionally obtuse there. We are talking about a vehicle However you are such a well informed self proclaimed expert I will bow to your superior intelligence.

The truth is VWFS is renting a vehicle to a third party are the best people to advise.  YOU, me or anybody else can only give your personal opinion - and so often that is wrong
