Digital Nomad & Residency - Gibraltar

Gibraltar has not enacted a digital-nomad or remote-work visa category; there is no official scheme aimed specifically at location-independent remote employees of foreign companies.

A person who is self-employed or in employment likely to last 12 months can obtain a renewable residence permit. Self-employed applicants must register with the Department of Employment and the Income Tax Office before applying to the Civil Status and Registration Office.

High-net-worth individuals with net worth over £2 million who have approved Gibraltar accommodation and were not resident in the prior five years can obtain Category 2 status; for 2025/26 tax is charged only on the first ~£118,000 of worldwide income.

High Executive Possessing Specialist Skills status (HEPSS Rules 2008) suits senior executives earning over £160,000 in Gibraltar with specialist skills and approved accommodation; assessable income is capped at £160,000 for tax purposes.

UK (British) nationals can live and work without a visa. Other nationals need a residence permit/registration card issued via the Department of Immigration & Home Affairs; Gibraltar left the EU with the UK and its frontier/Schengen relationship is governed by a pending UK-EU treaty.

Gibraltar has no passive investment-for-residency 'golden visa'; the closest analogue is Category 2, which is a wealth-qualified tax-residence status requiring approved local accommodation rather than a fixed investment.
