I am a British Citizen residing in Spain with a full residencia and am looking to drive from Spain to Gibraltar and back again.  I have looked at various web sites and am getting very confused as to what Covid requirements I need to comply with on entry to Gibraltar and then on return back into Spain.... Can anyone please advise me ?

3 weeks ago there were no checks on us walking in/out, neither did it seem like people in cars were checked. There is ofcource passport control both ways, make sure you have residencia card and show it to avoid stamp in passport. We had the qr codes ready, just in case.

Did you have to have a PCR test or anything ?  We have been double jabbed, but I can't find anything to tell us whether we have to have any lateral flow tests or PCR tests before we enter or on re-entry ?

Sorry belated reply,  travelling .

No PCR test etc etc, nothing, nada, for a day visit.

QR code, it is on your vax certificate, it is what the authorities read to confirm you've had 2 shots.  It's a type of barcode, I'm sure you've seen it around in restaurants, flyers, etc etc
