    Hello, just a question and clarrification. They was not able to explain me clearly about the refund. They gave me the form, then i go to the tax refund center, they refunded me immediately, gave me in cash, then told me to send back the tax refund form. But the thing is my working visa was approved so i was not able to go back to my country. What eill happen? Thank you

      You will get the refund because to you were a foreigner when you bought the item.
      Your obligation to start paying taxes for goods only starts when you worked there. But since when you purchased the item you were not yet working there, and still paid the tax, hence you need that refund.

    Hei there shreya. Thanks for the video. One question from me is that I thought it would feel safer to not open up the products that I bought when going for the VAT refund. But I read it in the comments that if we take the sealed product without opening it, it would be a problem. So can I use it now as I have still 2 months until I leave Norway.

    • @Wanderingshreya

      If you are leaving from Gare De Lyon, there are no VAT refund counter available at the station. If you’re traveling from France to Switzerland, you may need to get off the train at the border and find the French customs office to get your refund form validated.

    Hi there, would like to check with you regarding tax refund.
    I will be flying to Paris for 1 week, then take a flight to Amsterdam. Subsequently, take another flight from Amsterdam to London.
    Am I able to get tax refund from all the shopping in Paris before flying to Amsterdam?
    Thank you so much!

      @Wanderingshreya  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks for watching. As because both Paris and Amsterdam are Schengen countries, you can claim your refund at the Amsterdam airport.

    Hi, it was a great information share by you, i planning to buy an Apple product and wish to claim at airport, but it is necessary to claim on the day you are flying or can claim before that as i am having connecting flight from NCL - LONDON - MUMBAI and would not have enough time to get all the documentation done, Also the items after buying should be sealed pack or can be open during the claim.
    Thanks.
