Travelling to Andorra

Andorra Visa: Requirements, Types, Fees & How to Apply

Start your application

It depends on your passport and route. Andorra does not issue its own visas. Visitors enter through France or Spain, so you must satisfy the entry requirements of the Schengen country you transit through. A visa or entry clearance does not guarantee entry — border officials make the final determination at the port of entry.

Who is eligible

Whether you need a visa to enter Andorra depends on your nationality and the Schengen country you transit through:

Your legal residence also matters. Apply through the French or Spanish consulate responsible for your country of residence.

Schengen-visa-exempt nationalities can enter France/Spain visa-free and may visit Andorra without a separate Andorran visa.

Schengen-visa-required nationalities must obtain a Schengen visa from France or Spain before traveling.

Andorra does not issue its own visas — there is no Andorran embassy visa process.

At the border: what to expect

A visa lets you present yourself for entry — it does not guarantee admission. Entry into Andorra is decided by immigration officials at the port of entry.

Entry requirements

  • Valid passport with your Schengen visa or visa-free documentation.
  • Return or onward travel ticket.
  • Proof of accommodation in Andorra.
  • Evidence of sufficient funds for your stay.

Conditions of stay

  • Stay length is set by the officer at entry.
  • Andorra is not a work permit destination — employment requires local authorization.
  • Depart before your permitted stay ends; overstaying is an immigration violation.
Before you apply

Common reasons a Andorra visa is refused

Knowing these before you apply reduces your risk.

  • Incomplete or inconsistent documentation

    documents that don't match your application form.

  • Insufficient financial means

    evidence that doesn't clearly cover your trip.

  • Unclear travel purpose

    an itinerary that doesn't explain where you're going and why.

  • Weak ties to your home country

    limited evidence you'll return after your stay.
