Kazakh passport holders need a visa to enter Andorra. Since Andorra has no airport, you'll enter through Spain or France and must have a valid Schengen visa (or be visa-exempt for Schengen). Plan ahead — the nearest consulates are in Madrid or Paris.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa application Apply for a visa at the Andorran consulate | Andorra does not issue visas directly — you must apply for a Schengen visa at a Spanish or French consulate, as Andorra has no airport and is only accessible via Spain or France. Submit your application at the consulate covering your jurisdiction at least 15 days before travel. Processing takes 10–15 calendar days.Apply for visa | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for the entire stay | Your passport must be valid for the entire duration of your stay in Andorra. Since you enter through Spain or France, those countries may enforce the Schengen rule of 3 months validity beyond your departure date — check with your airline before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Schengen area | Border officers at the Spanish or French entry point will ask for a return or onward ticket showing you leave the Schengen zone within your visa's validity. Have a printed or digital copy ready — airlines also check this before boarding. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Immigration may ask for a confirmed hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host in Andorra. Have a printed copy or a PDF on your phone ready to show at the border. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show sufficient means for your stay | Carry bank statements or a credit card showing you can cover your expenses — around €100 per day is a safe benchmark. Officers rarely ask, but having it ready avoids delays. | Recommended |
No airport — plan your transit carefully
Andorra has no airport. You must enter via Spain or France, both of which require a valid Schengen visa for Kazakh passport holders. Book your flights to Barcelona or Toulouse, and arrange bus or car transport to Andorra.
Schengen visa is your ticket in
Your Schengen visa must be valid for the entire duration of your stay in Andorra. A single-entry visa works as long as you don't leave the Schengen area before entering Andorra. Apply at the Spanish or French embassy in Kazakhstan at least 3 weeks before travel.
What happens at the border

Obtain a Schengen visa
Apply at the embassy or consulate of the Schengen country you'll transit through (Spain or France). Submit your application at least 15 days before travel. Processing takes 10–15 working days. Cost: €80 for adults, €40 for children 6–12, free for children under 6.

Enter the Schengen zone
Fly into Barcelona (BCN) or Toulouse (TLS). At passport control, present your passport and Schengen visa. The officer may ask for your return ticket and accommodation proof. They'll stamp your passport — this starts your 90-day Schengen stay.

From Barcelona, take a bus (3 hours, ~€35) or drive. From Toulouse, bus takes about 3 hours. There is no border control between Spain/France and Andorra — you just cross the road. Keep your passport handy anyway.

Frequently asked questions
No. Andorra does not issue its own visas. You must have a valid Schengen visa (or be visa-exempt for Schengen) to transit through Spain or France. Once you're in the Schengen zone, you can enter Andorra freely.
Yes, as long as you don't leave the Schengen area before entering Andorra. Since Andorra is not in Schengen, a single-entry visa is fine — you'll enter Schengen once, then go to Andorra, then return to Schengen to fly out. That counts as one entry.
Your stay in Andorra is limited by your Schengen visa's validity. The standard Schengen visa allows up to 90 days in any 180-day period within the Schengen zone. Andorra does not impose its own separate limit, but you must respect your Schengen visa's duration.
You cannot enter Andorra. The only way in is through Spain or France, both of which require a valid Schengen visa for Kazakh passport holders. Apply at the Spanish or French embassy in Astana or Almaty well in advance.
No. Andorra has no commercial airport. The nearest major airports are Barcelona–El Prat (BCN) in Spain and Toulouse–Blagnac (TLS) in France. From there, you take a bus or drive.
There is no formal border control when entering Andorra from Spain or France. However, Spanish or French border guards may ask for your return ticket when you enter the Schengen zone. Keep a copy handy.
Andorra does not issue visa extensions. Your stay is tied to your Schengen visa. If you need more time, you must apply for a Schengen visa extension from the country that issued it (Spain or France) before your current visa expires.
