Traveling to Gibraltar from Spain as an EU citizen. Is a passport required?

Upvote:0

I did this trip two weeks ago, using my ID card. Gibraltar still accepted national ID cards in September.

Gibraltar is not yet part of the Schengen Area, but will be included and the border control is to be abolished in the future.

I tried to find something about your question on the official government websites, but at some places it says to bring a passport and on others it says a passport or ID is required.

I think that if IDs were no longer allowed, there would be a specific warning about this. Also, there is a warning that when travelling from Gibraltar to the UK by air, you now need to have a passport, which also probably wouldn't be there if you needed a passport to enter Gibraltar in the first place.

Gibraltar is an Overseas Territory of the United Kingdom and has its own immigration laws.

For short term visits, nothing has changed for EU citizens.

Do I need a visa to enter Gibraltar?
Passports are required by all visitors to Gibraltar, except EU nationals who are in possession of a valid national identity card. All other nationals require a passport or other recognised travel document.

There are negotiations underway with the goal that Gibraltar will become a part of the Schengen Area, but have not yet been completed.
