Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa application Visa required | Andorra does not have its own visa system. You must obtain a Schengen visa from a Schengen country embassy or consulate before travel, as Andorra is only accessible via France or Spain. Apply at the embassy of the Schengen country you will transit through.Check visa info | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for entire stay | Your passport must be valid for the full duration of your stay in Andorra. No minimum validity beyond departure is required by Andorra, but airlines and Schengen transit countries may enforce 3–6 months validity — check with your airline. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for entry | Immigration at the French or Spanish border crossing into Andorra may ask for proof of onward travel. Have a printed or digital return ticket or onward itinerary ready. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Recommended to carry | Border officers may request hotel bookings or proof of where you are staying. Keep a printed or digital copy of your reservation. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Recommended to carry | Carry evidence of sufficient funds for your stay — around €100 per day is a common benchmark. A bank statement or credit card statement works. | Recommended |
No airport in Andorra
You must enter through France or Spain. Make sure your visa covers the Schengen area — a single-entry visa is fine if you're only transiting once.

There's no formal immigration checkpoint between France/Spain and Andorra. You'll just drive or bus across. Keep your documents handy for random checks.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for a Schengen visa (if needed)
Since Andorra is not in the Schengen area but is only accessible via France or Spain, you need a valid Schengen visa (or be from a visa-free country for Schengen). Apply at the embassy of the country you'll transit through (France or Spain) at least 2–3 weeks before travel.
2
Enter France or Spain
Fly into Barcelona (Spain) or Toulouse (France). Go through immigration there — they'll check your passport, visa, return ticket, and accommodation. Keep your boarding pass and visa handy.
3
Travel to Andorra
From Barcelona, take a bus (about 3 hours) or rent a car. From Toulouse, it's about 2.5 hours by bus. No border control between Spain/France and Andorra — you'll just drive or bus across.

Enter Andorra
There's no formal immigration checkpoint at the border. You'll simply cross into Andorra. Keep your passport and visa documents with you in case of random checks.

Frequently asked questions
Yes, you need a visa. Since Andorra has no airport, you must enter through France or Spain, so you'll need a valid Schengen visa (or be from a visa-free country for the Schengen area). Apply at the embassy of the country you'll transit through.
Processing time for a Schengen visa is typically 15 calendar days, but can take up to 45 days in busy periods. Apply at least 3 weeks before your trip.
No, the visa is not extendable. You must leave before your visa expires. Overstaying can result in fines or a ban from the Schengen area.
If you're just passing through the Schengen area to another country, you may need an airport transit visa depending on your nationality. Check with the embassy of the country you're transiting through.
It's not always required for entry, but it's strongly recommended. Medical costs in Andorra can be high — a basic policy covers hospital stays and emergency evacuation.
You'll need your valid passport (6+ months validity), return or onward ticket, accommodation confirmation for your first night, and proof of sufficient funds for your stay. Keep digital copies on your phone.
If you hold a residence permit from a Schengen country, you can enter Andorra without a separate visa. Otherwise, you need a Schengen visa.
