Walk Across Gibraltar Frontier Checklist

Walking across the La Línea (Spain) / Gibraltar frontier is the smartest way to bypass vehicular queues.

The Pedestrian Checklist

  1. Valid Passports: Ensure you have your physical passport ready/ID card.
  2. E-Gates: If you hold a biometric EU or UK passport, use the automated e-gates for rapid entry.
  3. Customs Readiness: Do not bring excess tobacco or alcohol returning.

Our drivers drop you literally 50 meters from the pedestrian departure hall, ensuring your crossing is painless.
