There’s a border between Spain and Gibraltar.  Not much attention paid at the moment, you just wave your passport at the bored-looking police officers standing there as you drive through; that changes after 31/12.  You can expect long queues for all non cross-border workers as passpor...

...ts are checked ... I imagine Gib residents will have some kind of proof as well, so you can’t just pretend you’re a Gib resident returning home.  If you maintained an address in Gib, you MIGHT get away with it .... but have you seen the price of property in Gib?  Makes your eyes water.

Sorry ... no way around it.  After 31/12, if you overstay, you are probably going to be found out and if you are, expect heavy fines and possibly a ban on returning.

But I’ve found that coming into Gibraltar from Spain the Passport control is Gibraltar manned , going the other way back into Spain is Spanish controlled, interesting just have to wait until January 21 to find out.

Hi. Sorry if this has come up before. I was talking to a friend about the 90 day rule. He came up with a good point. What stops you from arriving from the UK to Portugal. Driving to Spain. Staying in Spain for more than 90 days. Then returning home to the UK from Portugal. How would they be able ...

“Whats to stop you” overstaying your visa? The simple answer of course is that nothing will stop you doing it if you want to do it. However, you will, after the expiry of your visa (or your agreed visa exemption period), become an illegal immigrant, ie you will be in the Schengen area without...

Dario, what do you think will happen as regards all the Gibraltans who own property in Spain?  Some of them are virtually living in Sotogrande, which is understandable really to anyone who has ever been to Gib.  There are loads of Spanish people who cross over daily to work in Gibraltar...

“Bloody minded about Brexit” .... no, it is simply that UK is “leaving the club” and therefore no longer enjoys the benefits of membership, such as Freedom of Movement.

All that is happening is that UK is having applied exactly the same rules as every other Third Country Nation, i.e. America, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand etc etc....

Yes, “First country” is all EU member states, “second country” are those countries that are not EU members but are members of EEC, still enjoy freedom of movement etc e.g. Switzerland; everyone else is a “Third Country” - not in the club or affiliated to the club and do not enjoy any ...
