Australian passport holders can enter Andorra without a visa for tourism or business stays up to 90 days. From 2026, you only need a valid passport and proof of onward travel. Andorra isn't in the Schengen Area, but you must transit through France or Spain, so check their entry rules too.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for duration of stay | Your Australian passport needs to be valid for the entire time you're in Andorra. No minimum validity beyond your departure date is required by Andorran law, but airlines may enforce 6 months validity — check with your carrier before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Schengen area | Immigration officers at the Schengen entry point (usually Spain or France) will 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 often check this before boarding. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Border officers may ask for a hotel reservation or a letter from your host in Andorra. A simple booking confirmation email or Airbnb receipt works fine. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | You might be asked to show you have enough money for your stay — roughly €50–€100 per day. A bank statement or credit card with available limit usually satisfies the officer. | Recommended |
Transit through Schengen Area
You must enter France or Spain first. Your 90-day Schengen limit applies there. Andorra's 90-day limit is separate, but you can't stay in the Schengen zone longer than 90 days in total. Plan your itinerary carefully.
No airport in Andorra
Andorra doesn't have a commercial airport. You'll fly into Barcelona, Toulouse, or Girona, then take a bus or drive. Book your transport in advance, especially in winter.
What happens at the border
1
Fly to Barcelona or Toulouse
Most Australians fly into Barcelona-El Prat (BCN) or Toulouse-Blagnac (TLS). From there, take a bus or rental car to Andorra. The drive is about 3 hours from Barcelona, 2.5 hours from Toulouse.
2
Transit through France or Spain
Andorra has no airport. You'll enter the Schengen Area first (France or Spain). Show your passport, return ticket, and accommodation if asked. Schengen rules apply: you can stay up to 90 days in the Schengen zone, and your time in Andorra counts separately.
3
Enter Andorra
At the border, there's no passport control for most travellers. You'll just drive or bus through. Keep your documents handy in case of random checks.
4
Depart Andorra
When leaving, you'll re-enter France or Spain. Your passport will be stamped there. Make sure your Schengen stay hasn't exceeded 90 days.
