Gibraltar Category 2 Resident Status

WHAT IS CATEGORY 2 (CAT2) RESIDENCY? Gibraltar's Category 2 residency is a specialist tax status available to individuals of substantial net worth. It enables eligible applicants to benefit from a fixed and capped income tax liability while maintaining international income streams without local taxation.

The answer is UK nationals can enter Gibraltar without a visa but cannot reside long-term without residency approval. You need local registration once you establish residence in Gibraltar. The requirement is a Gibraltar residence permit to live in Gibraltar on an ongoing basis.

While Gibraltar still offers an attractive low-tax environment, it now operates within a framework of compliance and financial transparency, making it a competitive but regulated financial center rather than a tax haven.

Access to Healthcare: Gibraltar has a public healthcare system similar to the UK's NHS, known as the Gibraltar Health Authority (GHA). British citizens living in Gibraltar are entitled to free or low-cost healthcare.
