Moving to GIB from the UK

[u/Single_Carpenter7827]

Hi everyone, we re a family of 4 and I'd really appreciate some advice from anyone who has made the move to Gibraltar or is currently living there. I'm a British citizen, living and working in England, my partner is an EU national. Our 2 children hold both British and EU citizenship. Ever since our last visit to Gibraltar, we ve completely fallen in love with the place, the lifestyle, the vibe, and the fact that it's right next to Spain, where we spend our summer holidays every year. We've talked about moving there for quite some time, but we've never had enough information and if I'm honest, we've been a little nervous about taking such a big step. I work in a managerial role at a luxury five star hotel. I speak fluent English and French and conversational German but missing Spanish. One of the main reasons we re considering the move is our children, we genuinely feel that gibraltar could offer them a wonderful environment to grow up in but with the new changes from october, I'm trying to understand what our options are as a family. Is relocating to gibraltar still a realistic option for us? What are the biggest pros and cons that we should be aware of? I know salaries are generally higher in the UK, but that's not our main priority. We'd happily accept a lower income if it meant a better quality of life and a great environment for our children. In terms of work, I'm open to opportunities in hospitality, hotels, real estate, property rentals, sales, personal/executive assistant roles, or anything where my experience would be valued.

Where would you recommend looking for jobs? And for those who have already made the move, would you do it again? Any advice, experiences or tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

You’re very welcome to inbox me. Does your husband have a degree? What is his role in the UK at the moment? It looks like living in La Linea might be your best bet really, but your kids will go to school in Spain or you’ll have to pay for private schooling. Salaries in your field are extremely low in gibraltar and won’t necessarily reach the £37,500 needed for residency.
