Verified practical details
You'll need to apply for a visa at a consulate or embassy before travelling. Here are the practical details we've verified:
Authorisation system
No visa of its own: entry is through France or Spain
Andorra issues no visas and has no entry procedure of its own, but it is not part of the Schengen area and can only be reached through France or Spain. Travellers who need a Schengen visa must hold a multiple-entry one: leaving Andorra means entering Schengen again, with the corresponding entry requirements, including registration in the Entry/Exit System (EES). Holding Andorran residence does not exempt you from meeting those requirements to cross France or Spain. To stay longer than three months, or to work, you must apply in person for a residence or work permit at the Andorran Immigration Department. Hotels and tourist flats register the passport details of every guest with the police.
Fee
€90
The 90 euros are the short-stay Schengen visa fee (Regulation (EC) 810/2009, Art. 16, as amended by Delegated Regulation (EU) 2024/1415). Children aged 6 to 12 pay 45 euros and those under 6 pay nothing. Andorra charges nothing for entry.
Processing time
The Schengen visa is decided by the consulate of the country you enter through, within 15 calendar days of an admissible application, extendable to 45 (Regulation (EC) 810/2009, Art. 23). It can be applied for no earlier than six months before the trip and, as a rule, no later than 15 days before.
Required documents
- EU citizens: valid national ID card or passport.
- Other nationalities: a valid passport meeting Schengen rules, issued within the previous ten years and valid for at least three months after the planned departure from the Schengen area.
- A multiple-entry Schengen visa, if your nationality needs a visa for Schengen.
- Minors travelling with third parties: besides their document, the parents' or guardians' permission to leave the country.
Transit rules
Andorra does not limit tourist stays with a visa, but a residence permit is needed beyond three months. In winter, snowfall can close roads and border crossings, and from 1 November to 15 May vehicles must carry the special equipment required by Andorran mobility rules. There is avalanche risk in the high mountains: the Government publishes a danger bulletin.
