Must hold Gibraltarian Status

Summary

Gibraltar allows an unmarried partner of someone with Gibraltarian Status to apply for residence based on a durable relationship maintained in person for at least two years. British citizenship alone does not establish Gibraltarian Status. The couple must document that local status as well as the continuing relationship.
