We have our own Parliament and pass all of our own laws. Under our constitutional arrangements with the UK, they remain responsible for our foreign affairs and defence.

We fully control our own immigration policy and do not follow criteria set by the UK.

UK, EU and EEA nationals are all permitted to enter Gibraltar upon production of a valid national identity card or passport issued by such a State. A family member is also admitted into Gibraltar on the same basis.  Such nationals are also permitted to reside in Gibraltar and cross the land frontier into Spain.
‍

US, Canadian, Australian and several South American nationals do not require a visa to enter Gibraltar. Other nationals can check visa entry requirement on the website of the Borders and Coast Guard Agency.

The UK/EU Trade & Mobility Treaty Agreement on Gibraltar was implemented on 15 July 2026. This has seen the removal of the land frontier between Gibraltar and Spain and allow all Gibraltar residents, irrespective of nationality, free access to move throughout the entire Schengen zone (including the EU) without a visa.
