New era for Gibraltar with removal of border controls with Spain

Gibraltar will remove its 118-year border with Spain on 15 July, enabling free movement for workers and residents as part of a post-Brexit agreement that aligns the territory with the EU customs union and Schengen rules. Travellers from outside Schengen will still present passports at Gibraltar’s airport and port, and goods sold in Gibraltar will be subject to EU standards with a new transaction tax starting at 15% (rising to 17%) and higher excise duties. The move is expected to boost cross-border traffic and business, though firms warn about new paperwork and competitiveness.
