Considering a move to Gibraltar?

Our latest guide explores Category 2 residency for qualifying high-net-worth individuals, including:
• The £5 million minimum net wealth requirement
• Gibraltar’s capped Category 2 tax liability
• Property and private healthcare requirements
• The application and registration process
• Important cross-border tax and financial planning considerations

Category 2 status may offer potential tax benefits to qualifying individuals, but it does not automatically resolve your tax position in other countries. Planning before you relocate is essential.

Could the new Gibraltar–Spain border agreement create fresh opportunities for internationally mobile wealth?

The removal of the hard border between Gibraltar and Spain marks one of the most significant developments in the region for decades.
For high-net-worth individuals, entrepreneurs and international families, the benefits could extend far beyond faster border crossings. Greater economic certainty, improved regional connectivity and enhanced confidence for business and investment may create new opportunities across Gibraltar and southern Spain.

However, while movement may become easier, tax residency, wealth structuring and cross-border financial planning remain as important as ever.

In our latest blog, we explore what the agreement could mean for investors, business owners and globally mobile families—and why professional planning will continue to play a vital role.
