Things to Consider
Border & Travel
The Gibraltar–Spain border arrangements are evolving following the UK–EU agreement. If you plan to commute or relocate, it's important to stay informed of the latest official guidance.
Residency
If you intend to live in Gibraltar, you may need to apply for residency depending on your circumstances. The Gibraltar Government's Residency Portal provides information on eligibility, applications, work permits, and residency regulations.
Living in Spain
If you choose to live in Spain, you should ensure you comply with Spanish residency and immigration rules. If you are not a Spanish or Schengen resident, the Schengen 90/180-day rule may apply to you.
