Ugandan passport holders need a visa to enter Andorra. Since Andorra is not in the Schengen Area, you must apply for a visa before you travel. Plan ahead — processing can take several weeks.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa application Apply for a Schengen visa | Andorra does not issue its own visas. You need a valid Schengen visa from Spain or France to enter Andorra. Apply at the Spanish or French embassy in Uganda — processing takes 15 calendar days and costs €80 for adults.Schengen visa info | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for the entire stay | Your Ugandan passport must be valid for the full duration of your stay in Andorra. Schengen rules require at least 3 months validity beyond your planned departure from the Schengen area. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for Schengen entry | Border officers at the Spanish or French entry point will ask for a return or onward ticket proving you leave the Schengen zone within 90 days. Budget airlines check this strictly before boarding. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Have a confirmed hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host in Andorra. Immigration at the Schengen border may ask for it — keep a printed or digital copy handy. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Carry evidence of sufficient funds — around €100 per day of your stay. A recent bank statement or a credit card with a decent limit works. Schengen officers rarely ask, but it's better to have it. | Recommended |
