FAQ ABOUT GIBRALTAR
What is the weather like in Gibraltar?
Gibraltar enjoys more than 300 days of sunshine a year and temperatures can reach 30ºC in the summer and 18ºC in the winter. Due to its location it boasts a year round subtropical climate where the strong sun can be mitigated by the ocean breeze to create this much sought after Mediterranean environment.
What currency is used in Gibraltar?
Even though Gibraltar's official currency is the Gibraltar Pound, par with Sterling, British Pounds are also accepted throughout as well as the Euro in most establishments. However, it is advisable to get your Euros changed at any bank or Bureau de Change so as to get a more favourable exchange rate.
What sort of ID do I need to enter Gibraltar?
European Economic Area nationals may enter and leave Gibraltar on production of a valid Passport or National Identity Card. As Gibraltar is outside the Schengen area, nationals of non-EEA countries must produce a valid visa so as to enter and ensure it allows them to return to Spain.
Can I get a job in Gibraltar?
Any EU national may reside and seek employment in Gibraltar but must obtain the corresponding residence permit which tends to last five years. Non-EU nationals will most likely be given permission to live and work in Gibraltar if they already hold a job offer which the government considers entails a unique skill.
What is the Dialling Code for Gibraltar?
Gibraltar's dialling code is 350, except if you are calling from Spain, where it is 9567. When in Gibraltar, you must use the international dialling code of 00 to dial out, but again, this doesn't include calls to Spain, where one should simply dial the code for the province followed by the number.
