The Truth About Not Paying EU VAT On Our Boat | S2 - EP11

*Watch part one here: https://youtu.be/5BUcdVGP05A* After 18 months of enjoying boat life and the sailing lifestyle in the Mediterranean, our EU Temporary Admission is finally expiring, which forced us to leave Europe and sail 125 nautical miles across the Mediterranean to Tunisia in Northern Africa. Now that we've cleared Tunisian customs, we find out just how easy it really is to reset our EU Temporary Admission clock and keep our boat VAT-free. We'll share our experience dealing with customs in Tunisia, what it's like to visit Tunisia, and everything we learned from taking our boat outside the EU. We spend over a week living in Bizerte, Tunisia, exploring one of Africa's oldest port cities, wandering through traditional markets, trying local food, and experiencing daily life. Along the way, we also discover an unexpected problem onboard Rúna that needs attention before we can continue our journey. If you're planning to sail to Tunisia to reset your EU Temporary Admission, hopefully this video gives some insight into what you can expect. Make sure to subscribe because next time we attempt to leave Tunisia and make a 25-hour overnight passage back towards Sicily... but things don't quite go to plan! ____________________________________________________________ Hey! We’re Ruth and Andrew 👋🏼 After years of dreaming, we left our family, friends and lives in Edinburgh, Scotland, behind as we set off to chase our shared dream of sailing the world. Last year, we bought our Excess 11 catamaran, Rúna, which we now call home as we live, work, sail and adventure across the Mediterranean. *Find daily content on our socials:* 🖥️ Collab enquiries: therunalife@gmail.com 📸 Instagram: http://instagram.com/lifestylegibbon 📸 Instagram: https://instagram.com/therunalife 🎥 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@therunalife ________________________________________________________________ *Season 2 - Episode 11* 00:00 - 00:29 Introduction 00:29 - 02:15 We Have a Problem! 02:15 - 04:00 We have to Stay in a Hotel 04:00 - 08:28 Exploring Bizerte - What's It Like? 08:28 - 10:18 Shopping for Provisions 10:18 - 13:52 Avoiding EU VAT - Is it Worth it? 13:52 - 14:27 What's Coming Up #Sailing #Liveaboard #Catamaran #Sardinia #Mediterranean #BoatLife #SailingLife #travelvlog #sailingadventures #sailingcouple sailing sardinia, coastal cruising, sailing adventure #Tunisia #Mediterranean #SailingLife #BoatLife #Africa #Sardinia #OffshoreSailing
