Andorra Entry Requirements
Visa, immigration, and customs information
Information last reviewed January 2024. Always verify with official government sources before traveling.
Visa Requirements
Entry permissions vary by nationality. Find your category below.
Andorra issues no visas of its own. It simply respects Schengen rules. A Schengen visa secured through Spain or France automatically covers your stay.
Passport holders from Schengen countries, the EU, the UK, the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Israel, and most Latin American countries may enter Andorra without a visa.
Your 90-day Schengen allowance includes any days already spent in Spain or France before entering Andorra.
Not applicable; Andorra has no ETA or eVisa system. Visitors needing a Schengen visa must obtain it from the Spanish or French consulate.
Obtain a multiple-entry Schengen visa if you plan to re-enter Spain or France after visiting Andorra.
Passport holders from countries whose citizens require a Schengen visa must obtain that visa before arrival in Spain or France.
Carry hotel confirmation, return ticket, and proof of financial means. These may be checked at the Spanish or French border.
Arrival Process
Expect a two-step process: external Schengen control followed by the drive into Andorra. Once inside Andorra there are no further formalities.
