Gibraltar: British Nationals Abroad

Asked by Neil Duncan-JordanLabourForeign, Commonwealth and Development OfficeTabled Answered 26 June 2025UIN 59961

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether time spent in Gibraltar by UK citizens will count against the 90-day allowance for stays in Schengen countries.

Answered by Stephen Doughty

Non-resident British nationals can currently visit Gibraltar for up to 90 days. The same will be the case under this agreement. As visitors will be free to cross into Spain without checks, time spent in Gibraltar will count towards the EU's 90 in 180 requirement. Immigration into Gibraltar is, and will remain, the responsibility of the Government of Gibraltar.
