How US citizens can enter Gibraltar during COVID

Gibraltar, located on the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula, attracts numerous US citizens with its unique blend of British and Mediterranean culture. As travel regulations continue to evolve in 2024, understanding the current entry requirements is crucial for a smooth journey.

Current entry requirements for US citizens

• Valid US passport with at least 6 months validity
• No visa required for stays up to 90 days
• COVID-19 documentation based on vaccination status
• Proof of accommodation and return travel

Gibraltar has significantly relaxed its COVID-19 entry requirements since March 18th, 2022. The Gibraltar Passenger Locator Form is no longer necessary to enter the country, making the process much simpler for travelers.

COVID-19 vaccination and testing requirements

As of 2024, Gibraltar maintains the following health protocols:

• Vaccination Status: No COVID vaccination certificate is mandatory to enter Gibraltar. However, if you have one, you won't need to present a negative PCR test or follow quarantine procedures.

• Testing Requirements:

• Unvaccinated travelers: Antigen test within 48 hours before arrival

• All travelers aged 12 and over: Lateral flow test upon arrival

• Exemptions: Children under 12, fully vaccinated travelers, and young adults aged 12-16 with single dose vaccination
