US EditionGibraltar-Spain Border to Vanish in 2026 Under Post-Brexit Deal
The post-Brexit treaty includes joint border management and a customs union with the EU to support 15,000 daily cross-border workers and boost regional cooperation.
- Next year, border controls between Gibraltar and Spain will end, and the 1.2km fence dividing Spain and Gibraltar is expected to be dismantled in January 2026.
- Years of negotiation produced a deal that aims to integrate Gibraltar economically, creating a customs union with the EU and easing daily transit for 15,000 people between Gibraltar and Spain.
- Gibraltarian and Spanish officers will run EuroStar-style dual controls at Gibraltar's port and airport, incorporating the new Entry/Exit System .
- Joint management is expected to reduce delays and boost trade and jobs, as local governments and business sectors gain while environmental agencies and NGOs and police and border forces protect biodiversity and reduce crime.
- Next week, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez is due to visit London to finalise treaty details; nearly 99% of Gibraltarians opposed shared sovereignty in 2002, while the Popular Party demands parliamentary backing.
