Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid on arrival | Your Spanish passport needs to be valid for the entire duration of your stay in Andorra. Andorra does not enforce a 6-month validity rule, but airlines may check it at boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Recommended for visa-free entry | Immigration officers rarely ask for proof of onward travel, but budget airlines flying into Andorra–La Seu d'Urgell or Barcelona may check it at check-in. Have a printed or digital copy ready. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Recommended for visa-free entry | Hotel bookings or an invitation letter from your host can speed up entry if asked. Andorra is a microstate with limited accommodation — having a reservation avoids last-minute issues. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Recommended for visa-free entry | Carry a bank statement or credit card showing you can cover your stay. Andorra has no formal minimum amount, but officers may ask if you look underprepared. | Recommended |
No formal border checks
Andorra has no airport and no formal immigration checkpoint at its land borders. You simply drive or take a bus in from Spain or France. Keep your passport and documents handy for random police checks.
Passport validity is strict
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your date of entry. Count from the day you land, not your departure date. If it expires sooner, renew it before you travel.
