How do I register with the GHA as a new Gibraltar resident?

Question

Accepted Answer

Apply to the GHA Registration office or online through the Government eServices portal, showing that you are either paying Gibraltar social insurance contributions or are ordinarily resident in Gibraltar. Incomplete applications are not accepted.
Who qualifies: under the Group Practice Medical Scheme, you can register if you are an insured person paying Gibraltar social insurance contributions (with your dependants), or if you are ordinarily resident in Gibraltar.
How to apply:
1. Online, using the GHA Health Card application on the Government eServices portal. You need an eGov online account.
2. In person at GHA Registration, open Monday to Friday, 9am to 12:30pm.
Forms published on gha.gi include the GPMS application form, the application for inclusion of a dependant, the change of name or address form, and the renewal form. Read the GHA guidance notes for registration and renewal before applying.
Documents typically required: valid passport or Gibraltar ID card; Civilian Registration Card or other evidence of residence status; proof of address; and proof of up-to-date social insurance contributions, such as a letter from the Contributions Unit or evidence of employment. Dependants need supporting documents such as birth or marriage certificates.
Residency first: Gibraltar residents must be registered with the Civil Status and Registration Office (Department of Immigration and Home Affairs) before applying.
Once registered you receive a GHA card, which must be renewed. Category 2 and HEPSS residents are generally required to hold private medical insurance as a condition of their residence status.
