UAE passport holders can enter Andorra visa-free for up to 90 days. Andorra is not in the Schengen Area, so your Schengen visa or residency doesn't apply here. As of 2026, just show up with a valid passport and a return ticket.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Andorra does not require 6 months of passport validity beyond your stay — your passport just needs to be valid for the entire time you are in the country. Airlines flying into Barcelona or Toulouse may enforce 6 months, so check with your carrier before departure. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Andorra or Schengen area | Andorra has no airport — you enter via Spain or France, both Schengen countries. Immigration officers at the Schengen border may ask for a return or onward ticket showing you leave the Schengen zone within 90 days. Have a printed or digital copy ready. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Carry a hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host in Andorra. Border officers at the Spanish or French entry point occasionally ask where you are staying, especially if you arrive by car or bus. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during your stay | Andorra does not publish a minimum amount, but have access to at least €100 per day of your stay — a bank statement or credit card works. Schengen border officers may ask for this if you look like you are working or overstaying. | Recommended |
Andorra is not Schengen
Your Schengen visa or residency does not give you entry rights to Andorra. UAE passport holders enter visa-free regardless.
No airport — plan your route
Andorra has no commercial airport. You must enter by road from France or Spain. Book your bus or rental car in advance.
