Cameroonian passport holders need a visa to enter Andorra. Since Andorra has no airport, you'll arrive via Spain or France and must have a valid Schengen visa or a multiple-entry visa for either country. Plan ahead — processing can take weeks.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa application Visa required | You need a visa before traveling to Andorra. Since Andorra has no airport, you must apply for a Schengen visa at a Spanish or French embassy or consulate — Andorra does not issue its own visas. Apply at the embassy of the Schengen country you will transit through (typically Spain or France). The visa allows a maximum stay of 90 days within any 180-day period across the entire Schengen zone.Apply for Schengen visa | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for the entire stay | Your passport must be valid for the full duration of your stay in Andorra. Andorra does not require 6 months of validity beyond your departure date, but airlines may enforce it — check with your carrier before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for Schengen entry | Immigration officers at the Schengen border (Spain or France) will ask for proof of onward travel. Have a printed or digital return ticket or onward flight out of the Schengen area ready. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Recommended | Carry a hotel booking or invitation letter for your entire stay. Border officers may ask for it during the Schengen entry check. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Recommended | Have bank statements or cash showing you can support yourself — around €50–€100 per day is a safe benchmark. Schengen officers rarely ask, but it helps if questioned. | Recommended |
Visa must be multiple-entry
Andorra is not in the Schengen zone. You'll leave Schengen when entering Andorra and need to re-enter when leaving. A single-entry visa won't work — make sure yours allows multiple entries.
No airport in Andorra
You must fly into Barcelona (Spain) or Toulouse (France), then take a bus or drive. Plan your ground transport in advance — buses run regularly but book early during peak season.

Frequently asked questions
Yes, you need a visa. Since Andorra has no airport, you must enter through Spain or France, so you'll need a valid Schengen visa or a multiple-entry visa for either country.
No, Andorra does not issue its own visas. You must get a Schengen visa from Spain or France, which allows you to transit through those countries to reach Andorra.
Processing typically takes 15–30 days. Apply at least 4 weeks before your trip. Some embassies may take longer, so plan ahead.
You'll need a completed application form, valid passport (6+ months validity), passport photos, flight itinerary, accommodation bookings, travel insurance (minimum €30,000 coverage), proof of sufficient funds (bank statements, payslips), and a cover letter explaining your trip.
No. You'll leave the Schengen area when entering Andorra, and you need to re-enter Spain or France when leaving. A single-entry visa won't allow that second entry. You need a multiple-entry visa.
Overstaying can result in fines, deportation, and a ban from the Schengen area. Always leave before your visa expires. Andorra itself may also impose penalties.
Not strictly for Andorra itself, but it's required for the Schengen visa application. Even if not checked at the border, it's strongly recommended — medical costs in Andorra can be high.
