You can enrol your children into gib schools if you live in Spain. If you pay. If you live in gib schooling is free. cheaper to pay higher rental/property price than education fees, plus get the advantages of living here. Read More

Hello all, I am a children s author and would love to be in a smaller sea side town, with a bit more sun the England, as I am from South Africa, it is the one thing that I am very homesick for... sun. We do not have young children, they have all ...
If you can afford 拢1K a month for rental, and living for a set up cost, or buy your own place at 拢125K min then you might be able to live here. No caravans, just boats, maybe an option but I doubt he'll get rich. Read More
Having a car in Gib by rvr
Hello guys, Would you please give me an idea of expensive it is to have/keep a car in Gib. If I leave let's say in a good place like OV or similar does the flat include a park place as well. How about car taxes in Gib - if I take my car with me I ...
Commercial vehicles require an annual MOT. Private vehicle is 拢20, commercial is 拢40 annually. We did importation but I thought it was 35%, I'd need to check that though. You can juggle around the car parking spaces if you don't have an allocated ... Read More

Are there designated areas where dogs can be off the lead to exercise? Are certain beaches open for dogs. My dog adores swimming & with the heat its important as is the pleasure & exercise he gets off the lead. I don't live in Gib, its something ...
Most of the beaches are closed. Depends what time of day you go I suppose. We had a labrador. Smell of water and he was gone!! You can work around it if you want to live in Gib. There was meant to be a dog park but no idea what happened to that. ... Read More

Hi I am looking to relocate to Gib..but I am looking for work..maybe customer care in the gambling companies..but I only speak English..do you think there is possibilities there? But I am a pre school teacher and I can also teach English...is ...
I do know people in customer care who (I think) only speak English, although a lot of the staff are multi-lingual. The wages aren't particularly high and you will have to do shift work. The advantage there being, as one told us the other night, at ... Read More
coach park new development by shelltone

I thought the 3 years res was for non-red card holders, but again, not sure. I don't know how it applies to Gibraltarians who have been out of the country for a while. Depends what Shelltone's status is. Of course one way to jump the list is to ... Read More

Don't forget if it is government built housing you may need to go on the housing list - at City Hall I think, but I'm not too up on that, Grumpy may know. Depends whether or not you want to buy outright or part buy part rent. Not sure what the new ... Read More

Hi, I've recently applied for jobs in Gibraltar, part of the adverts included a 'relocation package' with some luck this will be in Gibraltar within walking distance from work, but I understand this is a huge long shot..! I am expecting the ...
Only to endorse what Grumpy has said but you may wish to check out the Gib webcam for the frontier queue. Read More
Moving to Gibraltar by RRBrigi
Hi, I am new here. We (my husband, our son and me) live in England. We moved to England from another country 10 years ago. We work in England full time and we would like to move to Gibraltar around Sept 2014. We would like another baby and we ...
Please read my response above. Gib is not the UK. You can have 20 people in your one-bed flat for all the estate agent cares, there is a couple upstairs in our block in a two bed flat with three kids, Does that make it clear or not? Gibbos are ... Read More
Hi everyone by rpmarsh78
Hi everyone, My name is Richard and I am seriously considering moving to Gibraltar but not sure where to start to be honest. I currently live in Twickenham but fed up with the London life and feel like I need a fresh start. I have lived all over ...
I agree with Grumpy. Work is very iffy at the moment. A visit would be sensible and to take some Cvs around the relevant places. You could try the airport, gibtelecom, Not serco as they are terminating their work at the MOD, and maybe gaming ... Read More

Other costs are community block charges, ie for cleaning and maintenance and rates. Eg Ocean Heights are 拢3K for charges, ours are a few hundred. Our rates are 拢150 a year but our flat is small. The agency won't give two hoots what they rent. I ... Read More

I lived in Gibraltar for 3 years from 1955 to 1959 by colinscat2002
I should have really thought hard enough when I turned 60 in 2002 about trying to return to Gibraltar to live. But, other things occupied my mind at that moment in time. So was not able to plan anything for definite. So, now that I've turned 70, it ...
What do you want to know? :D Unless you want to visit Spain you don't need a vehicle, yes the buses are good, when I'm not walking I use them all the time. If you do want a car, fuel is cheaper than Spain or UK, MOT for private vehicle is every ... Read More
Hello! New to the forum and need advice on schools and attitudes! by juke96
Hello everyone, We (my wife, me and our son) are seriously considering moving to Gibraltar within the next 12-13 months. No doubt many of you will be thinking that you've seen so many new posters start their first thread with such an idea only to ...
I'll get my partner to ask, he sees far more people than I do and he's also far more personable and sociable. Don't know when though, it's not the sort of thing you knock on the door and say 'Hi what happened with the bullying?' People can be a ... Read More
