You likely don't need a visa
You don't need a visa to visit Gibraltar as a tourist. The United Kingdom is on Gibraltar's official visa-exemption list (15 July 2026). This applies to British citizens; it doesn't name other British nationalities, so if you hold another kind of British passport, ask the Department of Immigration and Home Affairs (visas.diha@gibraltar.gov.gi). Gibraltar is a separate immigration jurisdiction from the UK. Unless you are Gibraltarian or legally resident there, you can stay up to 90 days in any 180-day period, counted together with time in the Schengen Area, and after that you must register your presence. Gibraltar's guidance for British citizens says your passport must be less than 10 years old on the day you enter and valid for at least 3 months after you leave Gibraltar or the Schengen Area. At Gibraltar airport you go through a Gibraltar immigration check and then a Schengen check (EES where it applies; ETIAS once it is operational). British-Irish dual nationals travelling on an Irish passport are treated as EU citizens.
