Chinese citizens need a visa to enter Gibraltar. The four standard waivers apply, with the Schengen multi entry route being the most common. **1. Schengen 21 day waiver.** Hold a multiple entry Schengen visa with at least 7 days remaining validity on your departure date and you can enter Gibraltar without a separate visa for stays up to 21 days. **2. UK multi entry visa, 6+ months.** A UK multi entry visit, study or work visa issued for 6 months or more waives the Gibraltar visa requirement. **3. EU family residence permit.** Holders of an EU family permit or residence card are exempt. **4. Indefinite leave to remain in any Schengen state.** Long term residents of any Schengen country are exempt. Apply through the Gibraltar Borders and Coastguard Agency at visas.diha@gibraltar.gov.gi.
