Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Andorra does not enforce a 6-month validity rule — your passport just needs to cover your entire stay. Airlines flying into Barcelona or Toulouse may still ask for 6 months, so check with your carrier before departure. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Schengen area | Andorra has no airport — you enter via Spain or France, both Schengen states. Immigration officers at the Schengen border will ask for a return or onward ticket showing you leave the Schengen zone within 90 days. Budget airlines check this strictly before boarding. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Andorra's police rarely ask for proof of accommodation at the land border, but Spanish or French border officers may request it when you enter Schengen. Have a printed or digital booking confirmation ready. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | No fixed amount is published for Andorra, but Schengen rules apply at the entry point. Have at least €100–€150 per day of stay available in cash, card, or bank statement. Officers rarely check this for Swedish passport holders. | Recommended |
No airport in Andorra
Andorra has no commercial airport. You'll fly into Barcelona (BCN) or Toulouse (TLS), then take a bus (3 hours) or rent a car. Book your transport in advance, especially in ski season.
Schengen 90/180 rule still applies
Even though Andorra isn't in Schengen, you enter through Spain or France. Your total time in the Schengen area (including the day you cross the border) counts toward the 90-day limit. Plan your trip accordingly.
No visa needed — just show up
Swedish passport holders have it easy. No visa, no application, no fees. Just bring your valid passport and a return ticket, and you're good to go.
What happens at the border
1
Fly to Barcelona or Toulouse
Andorra has no airport. Most travellers fly into Barcelona-El Prat (BCN) or Toulouse-Blagnac (TLS). From there, take a bus or rent a car.
2
Cross the land border
You'll enter Andorra by road from Spain or France. At the border, you'll pass through a customs checkpoint but rarely a full immigration booth. Have your passport ready just in case.
3
Show your documents if asked
If stopped, present your passport, return ticket, and accommodation booking. This is uncommon for EU/EEA nationals, but be prepared.
4
Enjoy your stay
Once inside, you're free to travel anywhere in Andorra. No further checks needed. Keep your documents handy for any hotel check-ins.

Frequently asked questions
No. Swedish citizens can enter Andorra visa-free for tourism or short business trips. There's no maximum stay limit for visa-free visitors, but you must leave before your passport expires or if you overstay the Schengen area rules (since you enter via Spain/France).
There is no official maximum stay for Swedish passport holders in Andorra. However, since you must enter through Spain or France (both Schengen countries), your total time in the Schengen area is limited to 90 days in any 180-day period. Andorra itself doesn't count toward that 90-day limit, but the border crossing does.
You need a valid passport (6 months validity from entry date), a return or onward ticket, and proof of accommodation for your first night. Travel insurance and proof of funds are not always required but are smart to have. Customs checks are rare for EU/EEA nationals.
No. Andorra does not offer visa extensions for tourists. If you want to stay longer, you'd need to leave the Schengen area and re-enter, but that resets your Schengen clock. For long-term stays, contact the Andorran immigration office (Servei d'Immigració) in Andorra la Vella.
Yes. Even if driving, you should have proof of a return or onward journey. This could be a ferry ticket, flight booking, or a bus ticket out of Andorra. Keep a digital copy on your phone.
Overstaying in Andorra is rare but can result in fines or a ban from re-entering the Schengen area. Since Andorra is not in Schengen, overstaying there doesn't directly affect your Schengen record, but the border police in Spain or France may note it. Always leave before your passport expires.
No, it's not mandatory for entry, but it's strongly recommended. Medical costs in Andorra can be high — a hospital stay can cost hundreds of euros per day. A basic policy covering medical evacuation and repatriation is cheap insurance.
