Gibraltar visa and passport requirements

Passports are required by all visitors to Gibraltar, except EU nationals who possess a valid national identity card.

The following information, whilst correct at time of inclusion, may not be relied upon wholly when checking for visa and passport guidelines prior to booking your trip. We urge to check with the visa office of the country you intend to visit for up-to-date information. You can also check the official Gibraltar government website by clicking here.

Transit visas are not required by passengers continuing their journey by the same or first connecting aircraft provided holding valid onward or return documentation and not leaving the airport.

As a general rule, those who require a visa for entry to the UK also require a separate visa for entry to Gibraltar.

Applications should be made to any British Diplomatic Visa Issuing post in your normal country of residence (British Embassy) or in the UK, the visa section of the UK Passport Office in London (by appointment only).

Types of visa and cost

Tourist, Business and Transit. All visas cost £30.

Application requirements

• Application form
• Valid passport with at least two clear pages

Please also note:

Visa nationals with UK multiple visas which have been issued for 12 months or more, regardless of category, are eligible to enter Gibraltar at the ultimate discretion of the Immigration Authorities without the need for an additional visa.

This exemption also applies to persons who hold Indefinite leave to Remain in the UK and to persons who hold UK Certificates of Entitlement to the right of Abode (and have not been absent from the UK for more than 2 years). If you hold a standard six month multiple visit visa, you are not exempted from the requirement to hold a separate visa for Gibraltar.

In addition, if you are a non-EU national who resides in the UK and hold a residence permit with a specified validity (i.e. not indefinite leave to remain), you are not exempt from requiring a separate visa for Gibraltar.

If you will be visiting other countries during your stay in Gibraltar, please contact the relevant embassies for further information regarding immigration.

The Government of Gibraltar reserves the right to alter visa requirements for other nationals wishing to visit Gibraltar frequently and at short notice. Therefore, travellers should contact the UK Passport Office for up-to-date information before booking travel.

Nationals from the following countries are required to obtain a visa:
