Gibraltar
Warnings and insurance
Gibraltar is a British overseas territory, so there is no British consulate. The local authorities deal with all requests for assistance, including emergency assistance.
The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) provides advice about risks of travel to help British nationals make informed decisions. Find out more about FCDO travel advice.
