Gibraltar
Hi Everyone
I am hoping I can get some info regarding Gibraltar.
I am a British citizen considering accepting a job in Gibraltar.
My Fiancee is a US citizen, we are getting married shortly and are now considering doing it in Gibraltar and living there.
(One advantage we can see would be to go for a DCF at the US Madrid Embassy when we are ready to move to the US.)
Does anyone know what immigration rules would apply to our situation?
Would my new wife be able to live and work in Gibraltar because I am British?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Paul

How does the US Madrid Embassy fit into the equation ?

Re: Gibraltar
Living and working Gibraltar is no problem for yourself, but I am not too sure about a US citizen.
Is your fiancee allowed multiple entries into Spain as a majority of expats working in Gib live in Spain and commute daily across the frontier due to the high property prices in Gib.?

Re: Gibraltar
You must remember that the Spanish authorities will consider that each crossing from Gibraltar into Spain will be an entry into Europe as they do not consider Gibraltar to be a member of the EU.
( except when it is in Spains financial favour )

Are you planning on residing in Gib or emigrating to the US? No need to file DCF if you are not going there. If you are, there are plenty of sites which can guide you on what is required to get the US visa. You'll find the Marriage Based group helpful in this- search and read, then ask questions as needed.

Re: Gibraltar
Marriage in Gib is relatively easy providing you have the proper documents (birth, marriage, divorce certs/decrees). Filing DCF in Madrid is also simple though getting all the documents takes some effort. We did both about 5 years ago

Thanks for the replies.
Ironporer:
Ideally we are planning on residing in Gibraltar for 18 months to 2 years and would then like to emmigrate to the US.
Questions:
1 - If we marry, would my new US wife be granted residency and permission to work in Gibraltar?
2 - To file DCF in the Madrid US Embassy in the future must we be resident in Spain? Or, as Madrid is the closest US Embassy, would Gibraltar residency be ok?
My main concern at the moment would be the legal status of my fiancee/soon-to-be-wife in Gibraltar.
Thanks again
