SERVICES WE OFFER
New Work Permit Application
A work permit in Gibraltar is required for non-EU/EEA nationals seeking employment. Issued by the Gibraltar Department of Employment, it ensures legal work authorisation. Employers must sponsor applications, demonstrating the unavailability of local or EU candidates. Permits are typically job-specific and time-limited, requiring renewal for continued employment.
How We Can Help
Our services include preparing the full New Work Permit application form, submitting them by email together with the required supporting documents and making payment of the government applicable fee, and liaising with the Department of Employment to monitor progress and ensure everything remains in order until a decision is reached.
- Approval of an application is entirely at the discretion of the Department of Employment, and meeting the documentation requirements does not guarantee acceptance.
- Your passport expiry date maybe taken into account when processing your New Work Permit application. If your passport has only three months remaining, your work permit may be issued for the same period, even if you are otherwise eligible for a one-year work permit.
Work Permit Renewal
Work Permits are renewed annually by completing the relevant forms.
