What do I need to do to stay in Gibraltar for more than 90 days?

Short answer

You must register your presence and take up residence with Gibraltar's Department of Immigration and Home Affairs (DIHA), which is the authority responsible under the Immigration Act. Residence permits are issued by Gibraltar after Spain has been notified, and Spain may object on security and related grounds.

Detailed answer

The Treaty gives no automatic right to live or work in Gibraltar, so longer stays depend on meeting Gibraltar's domestic residence requirements, which can include evidence of suitable accommodation. Long-stay visas for Gibraltar are not issued, and residence cannot be obtained solely through a set investment or payment.
