Entry requirements

Gibraltar is not part of the Schengen Area. This means that there are immigration and customs controls when travelling between Spain and Gibraltar. Citizens of the European Union are required to have a national identity card or passport, while all others are required to have a passport to enter. The entry requirements for Gibraltar are not the same as the United Kingdom. Unless exempt from visa requirements, to enter Gibraltar you must have either a Gibraltar visa (to be applied for separately from a normal British visa at a British embassy/consulate), a UK visa valid for at least one year, or a UK permit of residence valid for at least 5 years. If arriving by air, Gibraltar airport staff will refuse entry to anyone who does not comply with these requirements.

Although entry into Gibraltar will technically invalidate a single-entry Schengen visa, in practice passports are checked but not stamped on entry by land, and those with single-entry visas usually get re-admitted to Spain without any problems.

After crossing customs, you may be asked to cross the airfield, being absolutely exposed to planes. DO NOT behaves differently in this area. Sometimes, if you are on a tour you can stay on the vehicle and citizens using cars can cross by car.

By plane

Gibraltar Airport (IATA: GIB) has daily scheduled flights to and from London-Heathrow (LHR, British Airways), Gatwick (LGW) (EasyJet), London-Luton (LTN) (Monarch Airlines) and Manchester (Monarch Airlines) in the UK. Monarch Airlines also resumed their flights to and from Manchester a few times per week.
