What are the wages like in Gibraltar?
I am considering moving to Gibraltar. I work as an Assistant Accountant. I just wanted to know what sort of money I could earn in Gibraltar. I can get around ₤20 per hour temping in London. I realize the wages will be less in Gibraltar but not sure by how much. Any ideas?

Called the front line.Example of the feelings you'd be facing.

Answer 5 :
Difficult to say how much you could earn, there are a lot of Accountancy firms in Gibraltar, the minimum wage is less than in the UK its around £4.50, but you would get that sort of rate if you worked in a Bar, not in a firm of Accountants, those type of wages are similar to the UK, however Temping seems to be non-existent in Gib. Any British person has the right to live in Gibraltar but you do need to apply for a residency permit and to do that you need an address in Gibraltar. Property is very expensive, more like London prices so most people opt to live in La Linea just over the border in Spain and travel across the border to work every day. This is what I do, if you need any more info let me know.
