Thank you!
Passengers from all scheduled common carrier flights into GIB clear passport control at GIB. If it's an airside transit at LHR, passport control is just cleared at GIB.
Admissibility criteria for GIB are separate from admissibility criteria for entering the U.K. in say England or Scotland. For example, Chinese and Indian citizens with a Schengen visa may enter Gibraltar under some conditions even as they may be inadmissible if wanting to fly into LHR from a Schengen country.
