Gibraltar: was man vor der Reise wissen sollte

Das Wichtigste

  • Entry rules changed on 15 July 2026: Schengen short-stay conditions now apply.
  • UK visas and ETAs do not replace required Schengen permission.

Einreise und Visa

From 15 July 2026, Gibraltar’s short-stay entry conditions align with Schengen rules under the provisionally applied UK-EU agreement. British visitors have 90 days in 180, counting time in Gibraltar together with Schengen time. The airport has Gibraltar and Spanish Schengen controls. A UK visa or ETA is not a substitute for required Schengen permission.

Gültigkeit des Reisepasses: Non-EU short-stay visitors: issued within the previous 10 years and valid at least 3 months after planned Schengen departure.

An der Grenze kann verlangt werden

  • Expect Gibraltar and Spanish Schengen controls at the airport; carry accommodation, insurance, funds and return-travel evidence.
