including your name (as it appears on your passport), passport number, address, arrival and departure date into the EU, and sign the form.

  1. Validation

If your form requires validation* by a customs officer, simply take your completed VAT refund form, receipts, passport and goods to the customs office at your final point of departure from the EU, where your form will be validated.*

  1. To process your refund, visit the Premier Tax Free desk in Dublin Airport, or submit your Global Blue receipts into the Global Blue post box in the airport.

  1. Simply present your card before paying

  2. Ensure to register the HORIZON Card, via the HORIZON app or in the airport.

Tips

  • In Ireland, you can post your VAT forms after leaving the EU, if they have been stamped by notary, customs or police. If you are claiming VAT on items which are worth more than €2,000, these goods will have to be inspected.
  • If you are on a connecting flight, to another EU destination, before your arrival home, get your form validated at the first departure point and this will be treated as your EU departure point.
  • Queues at customs in airports can be long, ensure you allow enough time to process your forms.
