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

construction trade.. joinery. by stef88

Hi all, was just wondering if there was much work for joiners? Would it be necessary to speak Spanish? Many thanks

roughseasinthemed

Yes and no. There is some work, depends. No you don't need to speak Spanish, but it sure as hell helps. Try workforce based above endless trading in main street. They just took on a mate of ours (speaks Spanish and Arabic). Trade rate is £7.58 an ... Read More

If you can afford £1K a month for rental, and living for a set up cost, or buy your own place at £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 ...

roughseasinthemed

Commercial vehicles require an annual MOT. Private vehicle is £20, commercial is £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 ...

roughseasinthemed

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

roughseasinthemed

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

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

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

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
