Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport needs to be valid for the entire time you plan to stay in Andorra. Andorra does not enforce a 6-month validity rule beyond your departure date, but airlines may still check for it — if your passport expires within 6 months, carry proof of your return flight. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Andorra or Schengen area | Immigration officers at the French or Spanish border entry points (Andorra has no airport) routinely ask for a return or onward ticket showing you leave the Schengen zone within 90 days. Have a printed or digital copy ready — budget airlines and bus companies also check this before boarding. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a printed or digital hotel reservation, hostel booking, or a letter from your host in Andorra. Border officers at the French or Spanish entry points occasionally ask for it, especially if you arrive by bus or car without a clear itinerary. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Sufficient money for your stay | Have access to at least €50–€100 per day of your stay, either in cash, a credit card, or bank statements. Andorra is a small, expensive country — officers may ask how you plan to cover accommodation, food, and activities, especially for longer visits. | Recommended |
Andorra is not in the Schengen area — but entry rules mirror Schengen
Andorra is a microstate with open borders to Spain and France. Your 90-day visa-free stay counts toward the Schengen 90/180-day rule. If you've already spent time in Schengen countries, track your days carefully.
No airport — plan your route
You'll enter Andorra by road from Spain (via La Seu d'Urgell or the Tunnel d'Envalira) or France (via Pas de la Casa). The nearest major airports are Barcelona (3h drive) and Toulouse (2.5h drive). Book a rental car or bus in advance.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Andorra's border
Andorra has no airport — you'll enter by road from Spain or France. At the border checkpoint, present your passport and return ticket. The officer will stamp you in. The whole process takes 2–5 minutes if you have documents ready.
2
Show your accommodation booking (if asked)
Some border officers may ask where you're staying. Have your hotel confirmation or Airbnb address ready on your phone.
3
Enjoy your stay
You're in for up to 90 days. No registration or additional paperwork needed during your visit.

Frequently asked questions
No. The 90-day stay is not extendable. If you want to stay longer, you'd need to leave the Schengen area (including Andorra) and re-enter after a period outside. Overstaying can result in fines or a ban.
Since Andorra has no airport, you'll enter via Spain or France. Both are Schengen countries. Argentine passport holders can enter Schengen visa-free for up to 90 days, so no visa is needed for transit either. Just make sure your passport is valid for 6+ months.
Overstaying is taken seriously. You could face a fine (typically €100–€500), a formal warning, or even a temporary ban from the Schengen area. Always track your entry date and leave before day 90.
Technically, the visa-free entry is for tourism or short business visits. Remote work for a foreign employer is a grey area — it's not explicitly prohibited for short stays, but if you're planning to work for months, you'd need a proper work permit. Most travellers do a few days of remote work without issues, but don't make it your primary activity.
No. For stays under 90 days, there's no registration requirement. Just keep your passport and entry stamp safe.
Border officers can deny entry. If your passport is damaged (torn pages, water damage, etc.) or expires within 6 months, renew it before you travel. No exceptions.
No. Andorra does not offer visa on arrival for any nationality. You must meet the visa-free requirements at the border. If you don't, you'll be turned away.
