Gibraltar border opens
Sunday 12th July, 2026
Gibraltar and Spain will remove 118‑year‑old border controls from 15 July, allowing freer movement and aligning Gibraltar with EU customs and Schengen rules.
This gives Wise a chance to talk about smoother cross‑border payments and cheaper transfers for commuters and businesses between Gibraltar and Spain (UK/EU).
Why have we flagged this?
Removal of century-old Gibraltar–Spain border controls and alignment with the EU will change cross-border movement and transactions, so Wise could offer expertise on cross-border payments, FX impacts, and how the new Gibraltar transaction tax may affect transfers and remittances.
