Moving to Gibraltar

Before committing to a move, confirm whether you are assessing residence, work permission, tax status, accommodation evidence or an existing-document position.

Work backwards from your likely route. A person moving for employment, business, family, specialist tax status or retirement may need different evidence and authority checks.

Key decisions

• Check whether you already hold a Gibraltar document or fall under an existing-resident branch.
• Separate the right to work from the right to reside. See work permit versus residency.
• Do not assume property alone creates residence rights. See property and accommodation.
• Prepare identity, employment, accommodation, family and vetting evidence early.

Use the checker first, then read the route-specific guide for your result and confirm current requirements with the official Residency Portal or a qualified Gibraltar adviser.
