Dutch 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 a 180-day period. Andorra is not in the Schengen Area, but entry rules are similar.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport needs to be valid for the entire time you plan to stay in Andorra. Andorra does not require 6 months of validity beyond your departure date, but your airline might enforce it — check with them before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from the Schengen area | Immigration officers at the Spanish or French border (you enter Andorra via either country) may ask for a return or onward ticket showing you leave the Schengen zone within 90 days. Have a printed or digital copy ready. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Border officers sometimes ask where you're staying, especially if you arrive by car or bus. A hotel confirmation or a letter from your host covers this. No need to print it — showing it on your phone works. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during your stay | Andorra doesn't publish a fixed minimum, but carrying a credit card and around €100–150 per day in cash or bank statements is a safe bet. I've never been asked, but it's better to have it than to scramble at the border. | Recommended |
Andorra is not in Schengen
Even though Andorra is not part of the Schengen Area, its entry rules mirror Schengen's 90/180-day rule. Your days in Andorra count toward your Schengen stay if you're also visiting Schengen countries. Keep track of your total days across both.
No airport — plan your route
Andorra has no commercial airport. You'll enter by road from France (via Pas de la Casa) or Spain (via La Seu d'Urgell). The nearest airports are in Barcelona, Toulouse, or Girona. Book your transport in advance.

Frequently asked questions
No, you don't need a visa. Dutch citizens can enter Andorra visa-free for up to 90 days within any 180-day period. Just bring your valid passport.
Up to 90 days within a rolling 180-day period. This is the standard short-stay limit for most nationalities. If you want to stay longer, you'd need to apply for a residence permit from the Andorran immigration office.
Extensions are not available for tourist stays. If you need to stay longer, you must apply for a residence permit before your 90 days expire. Contact the Andorran Immigration Department (Departament d'Immigració) in Andorra la Vella.
Your valid passport (6+ months validity), a return or onward ticket, and proof of accommodation for your first night. Travel insurance is not mandatory but strongly recommended.
No, Andorra does not offer visa on arrival. If you need a visa, you must obtain it before travel from an Andorran embassy or consulate (usually in Spain or France). Dutch passport holders don't need one.
Overstaying can result in fines, deportation, and a ban from re-entering Andorra or the Schengen Area. Always track your days carefully. Andorra shares immigration data with Schengen countries.
No, tourist entry does not permit any work, including remote work for a foreign employer. For that, you'd need a specific work or digital nomad visa. Andorra has a digital nomad visa program — check with the Andorran consulate.
