Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your New Zealand passport needs to be valid only for the time you plan to stay in Andorra. Airlines sometimes enforce a 6-month validity rule — check with your carrier before departure. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Andorra | Immigration at the border (usually at Barcelona or Toulouse airports, since Andorra has no airport) may ask for proof of onward travel. Have a printed or digital copy of your return flight or bus ticket out of the Schengen zone ready. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Carry a copy of your hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host in Andorra. Border officers rarely ask, but having it ready avoids delays. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during your stay | Have a bank statement or credit card showing access to around €100 per day of your stay. Immigration officers almost never check this for New Zealand passport holders, but it's good to have. | Recommended |
No airport in Andorra
Andorra has no commercial airport. You'll fly into Barcelona (BCN), Toulouse (TLS), or Girona (GRO), then take a bus or drive. Plan your ground transport in advance.
Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you enter Andorra, not from your departure date. If it expires sooner, renew it before you go.
