+# Project importing from GitLab.com to your private GitLab instance
+
+You can import your existing GitLab.com projects to your GitLab instance. But keep in mind that it is possible only if
+GitLab support is enabled on your GitLab instance.
+You can read more about GitLab support [here](http://docs.gitlab.com/ce/integration/gitlab.html)
+To get to the importer page you need to go to "New project" page.
+
+>**Note:**
+If you are interested in importing Wiki and Merge Request data to your new
+instance, you'll need to follow the instructions for [project export](../settings/import_export.md)
+
+![New project page](img/gitlab_new_project_page.png)
+
+Click on the "Import projects from GitLab.com" link and you will be redirected to GitLab.com
+for permission to access your projects. After accepting, you'll be automatically redirected to the importer.
+
+![Importer page](img/gitlab_importer.png)
+
+To import a project, you can simple click "Import". The importer will import your repository and issues.
+Once the importer is done, a new GitLab project will be created with your imported data.
