Bet you didn't read the FAQ ... this is what you missed:
Many of the jobs traditionally occupied by British nationals, like.ship repair, the construction trade, hotel, shop and bar sectors are now staffed by Spanish frontier workers.
Local computer companies do not employ expensive IT staff. Local companies
generally prefer to employ Gibraltarians and there is no shortage of keen graduates.
Going to work abroad is not something to be undertaken lightly, the grass often seems greener in the travel pictures than reality. There are particular challenges to working in a
small place like Gibraltar. There is no unemployment benefit, and medical services are more limited than available in a large country.
8. EMPLOYMENT
8.1 Can I get a job in Gibraltar
a. Citizens of EU countries can seek employment and reside in
Gibraltar. Civilians living locally must hold an Identity
card issued by the immigration department.
Non-Gibraltarians must hold a residence permit. This is
normally issued for a period of five years on application.
Non EU citizens are only likely to be permitted to live and
work in Gibraltar if they already have a job offer and their
employer satisfies Government that their skills are unique.
There are strict laws and procedures to control employment
and little scope for evasion.
12. ACCOMODATION
12.1 Can I find somewhere to live in Gibraltar ?
12.2 Traditionally finding somewhere to live has been the number one
problem in Gibraltar. During WW2 the population was evacuated
and there was a delay in repatriation due to lack of suitable
accomodation, much having been taken over by the military.
Several housing estates were built, however this remained the
largest local political issue, until the reclamation project
when the new private estates built and the Government estate
coupled with the release of MoD property no longer used, has
largely solved the problem for local residents.
12.3 Renting housing remains a problem as the private sector is
expensive and there is more demand than supply.
12.4 What about Spain ?
12.5 Many non-gibraltarians working in Gibraltar live in Spain which
has the advantage of size and space.
The problems are the frontier, where the delay to cross by car
can be considerable, although many park their cars in La Linea
and cross on foot.
Living in Spain is easier for EU nationals now that Spain is
a full member, but the issues are beyond the scope of this FAQ.
There are a number of large internet gaming companies based in Gibraltar who have an ongoing
requirment for IT staff, and call centre operators, particularly those with foreign language skills.
