Visas in Gibraltar
Arriving by land from Spain: Since 15th July 2026 when Gibraltar joined the Schengen area of the EU there are no passport nor customs formalities crossing the land border from Spain.
Arriving at the airport:
If you are a British citizen
- No visa is needed to enter Gibraltar for visits, work, or study. The maximum permitted stay in Gibraltar is 90 days within any 180-day period. Any time already spent in the Schengen Area would count towards this 90-day allowance.
If you are a Spanish (or other EU/EEA) citizen
- No visa is required for travel — you can enter with a valid passport or national ID card.
For other nationalities
- Most nationalities that normally don’t need a EU Schegen visa also don’t need a visa for Gibraltar. The maximum permitted stay in Gibraltar is 90 days within any 180-day period. Any time already spent in the Schengen Area would count towards this 90-day allowance.
