Hi, I'm new here, so thought it would be best to introduce myself. I'm Ruth, from Dublin and have recently decided to relocate (by myself) to Gibraltar.
I have zillions of questions but I'll save them for later. Right now Im just excited to have made my decision ( it was either Gib or London) and intend to move in approx 3-4 months.
Pleased to meet you all.
Ruth

I've never been there but my research on it has decided me. I highly doubt that I'll dislike the place. Is there a social security number system in Gibraltar? Do you need to apply for one on arrival?

The residence permit is from the Immigration Office in Joshua Hassan's House, just off Line Wall Road (NOT the Governor's Office). The permit is actually granted by the royal gib police so presumably if you have a lengthy criminal record, you might find it difficult.

If they grant the permit, you can then get a local ID card which can be anything from six months to five years. This gives you the right to free bus travel smile, the right to a Gibraltar registered vehicle, and depending on your status, a Gib/EU health card.

I think you are confusing all these issues. You can live here without a residence card/permit. The job issues only come into force regarding the issue of an ID card/permit.

this is what I have found out regarding I'd. however it might be better for you to visit the place that you intend on moving to.
