Mozambican 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 transit through those countries. Plan ahead — processing a Schengen visa can take several weeks.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa application Apply at Andorra's consular services | Andorra does not issue visas directly. You must apply for a Schengen visa at the Spanish or French embassy/consulate in your country of residence, as Andorra is only accessible via Spain or France. Submit your application at least 15 days before travel. The visa costs €80 for adults.Andorra visa info | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport must be valid for your entire stay in Andorra. Since you enter through Spain or France, those countries may require 3 months validity beyond your departure date from the Schengen area. Carry a photocopy of your passport's bio page separately. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of exit from the Schengen area | Border officers at Spanish or French entry points routinely 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 invitation letter | Immigration may ask for a confirmed hotel reservation covering your entire stay in Andorra, or a letter of invitation if staying with a resident. Keep a printed copy or have it accessible on your phone. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show sufficient means for your stay | Carry evidence of at least €100 per day of your stay, or a total of €900 for trips under 10 days. Bank statements, credit card limits, or cash all work. Officers rarely ask, but having it ready avoids delays. | Recommended |
Schengen visa is mandatory — no exceptions
Andorra has no airport and no visa issuance. You must have a valid Schengen visa (or residence permit) to transit through Spain or France. Without it, you cannot enter Andorra.
Plan your Schengen visa early
Processing times for Schengen visas from Mozambique can take 15–30 days, sometimes longer during peak season. Apply at least 6 weeks before your trip.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for a Schengen visa
Submit your application at the Spanish or French embassy/consulate in Mozambique (or the country where you legally reside). You'll need to book an appointment, fill out the form, provide photos, and pay the fee (€80 for adults, €40 for children 6–12, free for under 6). Processing takes 15–30 days.
2
Book your travel to Andorra
Since Andorra has no airport, fly into Barcelona (BCN), Toulouse (TLS), or Girona (GRO). Then take a bus (e.g., Andbus from Barcelona, 3 hours) or drive. Keep your Schengen visa and passport handy for the border crossing into Andorra — there are no passport checks at the Andorran side, but Spanish/French police may check on the way out.
3
Enter Andorra
At the border, you'll likely just drive or bus through without stopping. If stopped, show your passport, Schengen visa, and return ticket. No arrival declaration is needed. You can stay up to 90 days within any 180-day period (Schengen rules apply).
