Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your Canadian passport needs to be valid only for the time you plan to stay in Andorra. No minimum validity beyond your departure date is required by Andorran authorities. Airlines may still ask for 6 months validity — check with your carrier before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Andorra or Schengen area | Immigration officers at the border may ask for a return or onward ticket showing you leave the Schengen zone within 90 days. Have a printed or digital copy ready — budget airlines sometimes check this before boarding. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Keep a copy of your hotel reservation or a letter from your host in Andorra. Officers rarely ask for it, but having it ready avoids delays if they do. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself during your stay | Carry a bank statement or credit card showing access to roughly €100 per day of your stay. Border officers have discretion to ask, especially if you arrive without a return ticket. | Recommended |
Andorra is not in the Schengen Area
But it counts your Schengen days. The 90-day limit applies to the entire Schengen zone plus Andorra. If you've already spent 60 days in France, you only have 30 days left for Andorra.
No airport — plan your route
Andorra has no commercial airport. You'll fly into Barcelona (Spain), Toulouse (France), or another nearby city, then drive or take a bus. Make sure your entry into Spain or France is also visa-free (it is for Canadians).
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at the border
Andorra has no airport. You'll enter by road from France or Spain. At the border checkpoint, hand over your passport. The officer will stamp it with your entry date.
2
Show your documents if asked
The officer may ask for your return ticket and accommodation booking. Have them ready on your phone. They rarely ask for proof of funds, but it's smart to have a credit card or cash.
3
Receive your entry stamp
You'll get a stamp in your passport valid for up to 90 days. Keep the stamp visible — you'll need it when you leave to prove you didn't overstay.
