If you have decided to apply for Category 2 residency it is advisable that you use a local Law firm or accountant as they will be able to deal directly with the Finance Centre on your behalf.

Your professional adviser will be able to prepare and submit the application, liaise with the Finance Centre on any potential issues on the application, apply for and obtain the Gibraltar civil registration card as well as prepare your Gibraltar Category 2 tax return once you have obtained the status.

We have reviewed who in Gibraltar are the best advisers and are more than happy to help you decide who to use. If you do wish to apply we would recommend that you use Marrache and Co.
