The new rules British travellers will face in Gibraltar
UK visitors to Gibraltar will face new Brexit-related red tape, including potential refusal of entry by Spanish officials, once the post-Brexit agreement between the UK, Gibraltar, Spain and the EU is ratified.
The deal will introduce two passport checks on arrival, with a Spanish frontier post augmenting Gibraltar 's existing checks, aligning the territory with Schengen area formalities.
British passports will need to be less than 10 years old and valid for at least three months beyond the planned departure date, adhering to stricter Schengen rules.
Future requirements will include providing facial biometrics and fingerprints under the EU's delayed entry-exit system, and EU customs rules will prohibit bringing certain food products from the UK.
The special status allowing British holidaymakers extended stays in Gibraltar will end, with time spent there now counting towards the 90-day Schengen limit, removing an option for long-stayers.
