Okay, so here's a question about residency.
The website states that residency requirements are for 3 years UK minimum.
I'm a full British citizen, but for the last four to five years have been living in Gibraltar.
I'm curious to know if Gibraltar will count for British residency or if I would be required to move back to the UK for a few years prior to enlisting?
Gibraltar is a bit of a unique place and falls into a few gaps in categories.
It's British territory with a locally elected Chief Minister and for military and foreign issues a crown appointed Governor.
In the past Gibraltar was primarily a military base with a significant presence from all three forces, but which now only has a very small showing from the RAF and RN but which still maintains the Royal Gibraltar Regiment of the Army, who recruit locally as well as receiving other British applicants.
In the area of education, Gibraltar not having a university, students here go to UK universities as 'home' students.
Due to these sort of things I was wondering if, and hoping that, enlistment might be possible directly from Gibraltar.
Does anyone know?
Thanks.
