Hi all.

I've been taking a look through this forum and found some great information on Gibraltar, but a lot of it seems to be based on getting a job.

I'm in the extremely lucky situation of having a company willing to fly me out to the rock for a few days for an interview. The slight downside is that I know so little about Gibraltar, and I'm yet to decide on whether I Will take the job. I'm yet to find a simple explanation of the tax system, and totally unsure of where I'd live.

A little more information about me - I'm 24, single (not saying that to gauge interest, but to point out that the decision is solely mine) and I work in the gambling industry. The new role would be around about £30k which would be a pay rise. Is that good/terrible in gib? I have no idea.

Also, it would be good to get an idea around connectivity.

All tips/advice/info would be appreciated. Literally anything at all would be great. Even information on the culture/food/price of a can of coke/alcohol/tobacco/eating in/eating out anythingg!

Cheers,
Jp

Thanks for the welcome.

Fred, I literally just want to gather whatever information I can find. Cost of living and realistic commute times from different places would be good to know.

Commute to where? you could cycle around Gib, it is not terribly big and crammed with cars. If you are thinking of commuting across the border then, check here and elsewhere the border problems lol

Accomodation is more expensive than most of UK, petrol and cigarettes much cheaper, otherwise I guess it is similar to UK, however I haven't been to UK for many years

pwwm is right but I walk most places.
Once you have all your documents in place the the buses are free

I've got no idea haha.

Looking at a few places when I'm over on the 9th. Being over there for a few days should help me out.
