Belgian passport holders can enter Andorra for tourism or short stays without a visa. As of 2026, you only need a valid passport to stay up to 90 days within any 180-day period. Andorra is not part of the Schengen Area, but its entry rules mirror the Schengen short-stay policy.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your Belgian passport needs to be valid for the entire time you're in Andorra. Andorra does not enforce a 6-month validity rule, but your airline might — check with them before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Andorra | Immigration at the border (usually French or Spanish police) may ask for proof you're leaving. Have a printed or digital onward ticket ready — a flight out of Barcelona or Toulouse works fine. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Not always checked, but border officers can ask where you're staying. A hotel confirmation or a letter from a host in Andorra covers you. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | No set amount is published, but carrying a credit card and a few hundred euros in cash shows you're not a risk. I've never been asked, but it's smart to have it. | Recommended |
Andorra is not in Schengen
Even though Andorra is not part of the Schengen Area, it enforces the same 90/180-day rule. Your days in Andorra count toward your Schengen stay limit if you're also visiting Schengen countries. Keep track of your total days in both zones.
No airport — plan your route
Andorra has no commercial airport. You'll enter by road from France or Spain. The nearest airports are in Barcelona (Spain) and Toulouse (France). Book a bus or rental car in advance — especially in winter when mountain roads can be tricky.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Andorra's border
Andorra has no airport. You'll enter by road from France or Spain. At the border checkpoint (e.g., Pas de la Casa from France, or La Seu d'Urgell from Spain), present your passport and any requested documents. The officer may ask your purpose and length of stay.
2
Show your passport and documents
Hand over your passport. If asked, show your return ticket and accommodation booking. The officer will stamp your passport (or not — sometimes they just wave you through). Keep your documents accessible, not buried in luggage.
3
Receive entry permission
If everything is in order, you'll be allowed entry. No visa fee, no forms. The stamp marks your entry date. You can stay up to 90 days in any 180-day period.
