Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your Austrian passport needs to be valid for the entire time you plan to stay in Andorra. Andorra does not enforce a 6-month validity rule beyond your departure date, but your airline might check for at least 3 months validity. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Andorra | Immigration officers at the border may ask for proof that you're leaving Andorra within the visa-free period. Have a printed or digital copy of your return flight or onward ticket ready. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Border officers occasionally ask for proof of where you're staying, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. A hotel confirmation or a letter from a host is enough. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during your stay | You may be asked to show you have enough money for your stay. Carry a bank statement or credit card — around €100 per day of stay is a safe benchmark. | Recommended |

Frequently asked questions
No, you don't need a visa. Austrian passport holders can enter Andorra visa-free for up to 90 days within a 180-day period.
Andorra has no airport. The most common routes are driving from Barcelona (Spain) or Toulouse (France), or taking a bus from Barcelona. The border crossing is straightforward — just show your passport.
You may be denied entry. Andorra requires your passport to be valid for at least 6 months from your entry date. Renew your passport before traveling.
No, the 90-day limit within 180 days is strict. Extensions are not available for tourist stays. If you need to stay longer, you'd need to leave and re-enter after 90 days outside Andorra.
It's not mandatory for entry, but it's strongly recommended. Medical costs in Andorra can be high, and your Austrian health insurance may not cover you abroad. Get a policy that covers medical evacuation.
Your valid passport (6+ months validity), a return or onward ticket, and proof of accommodation for your first night. A travel insurance certificate is also wise to have on hand.
No, Andorra is not in the Schengen Area. However, entry rules are similar — you get a 90-day stay. Your Schengen visa does not automatically allow entry to Andorra, but as an Austrian passport holder, you don't need a visa anyway.
