Indian passport holders need a visa to enter Andorra. Since Andorra has no airport, you'll enter via Spain or France and must have a valid Schengen visa (or be a resident of a Schengen country) to cross the border. Plan ahead — there's no visa-on-arrival option as of 2026.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Schengen visa application Required | Andorra is not a Schengen member but requires a valid Schengen visa for Indian passport holders. Apply at the embassy or consulate of the Schengen country you plan to enter first or spend the most time in. Processing takes 15–30 days; expect an interview and biometrics.Apply for Schengen visa | Required |
| Valid passport Required | Your passport must be valid for at least 3 months beyond your planned departure date from Andorra. It must have at least two blank pages for entry and exit stamps. Airlines check this before boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required | Immigration officers at the Andorran border (entered via Spain or France) routinely ask for proof of onward travel. Have a printed or digital copy of your return flight or a ticket to a third country ready. Budget airlines flying into Barcelona or Toulouse may deny boarding without it. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Recommended | Hotel bookings or an invitation letter from a host in Andorra can speed up border checks. Officers occasionally ask where you're staying, especially if you arrive by car. A simple booking confirmation on your phone works. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Recommended | You may need to show you have at least €100 per day for your stay. A bank statement or credit card with available limit usually satisfies the officer. This is rarely asked but can be requested at the border. | Recommended |
Schengen visa is your real requirement
Andorra has no visa of its own for Indian nationals. Your entire trip depends on having a valid multiple-entry Schengen visa. Apply at the Spanish or French embassy in India at least 4-6 weeks before travel.
No airport — plan your land route
Andorra is landlocked and has no airport. You'll enter via Spain (La Seu d'Urgell border) or France (Pas de la Casa border). Buses run daily from Barcelona and Toulouse.
What happens at the border
1
Get a Schengen visa first
Apply for a multiple-entry Schengen visa at the embassy or consulate of Spain or France in India. This is your entry ticket to Europe and Andorra. Processing takes 2-4 weeks, so apply well in advance.
2
Fly to Barcelona or Toulouse
Most travellers fly into Barcelona El Prat (Spain) or Toulouse-Blagnac (France). From there, take a bus or rental car to Andorra. The drive is about 3 hours from Barcelona.

Cross the border into Andorra
At the border checkpoint, present your passport and Schengen visa. Officials may ask for your return ticket and accommodation. The process is usually quick — under 5 minutes.
4
Enjoy your stay
Andorra allows stays up to 90 days within a 180-day period under the Schengen visa rules. No separate visa is needed once you're inside.
