Croatian passport holders can enter Andorra without a visa for tourism or short stays. As of 2026, you only need a valid passport to stay up to 90 days within any 180-day period. Andorra is not in the Schengen Area, but its short-stay rules mirror Schengen's.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |

Andorra is not in the Schengen Area
Even though Andorra is not part of the Schengen Area, it applies the same 90/180-day rule. Your days in Andorra count toward your Schengen stay limit if you enter from a Schengen country. Plan accordingly.
No airport — enter by road only
Andorra has no commercial airport. You'll arrive via France or Spain. The nearest airports are Barcelona (Spain) and Toulouse (France). From there, take a bus or drive. Border checks happen at the road crossings.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Andorra's border
Andorra has no airport. You'll enter by road from France or Spain. At the border checkpoint, present your passport. The officer may ask for your return ticket and accommodation details. Have them ready on your phone or printed.
2
Passport control
Hand over your passport. The officer will check your validity and may stamp it. Answer any questions clearly (e.g., purpose of visit, length of stay). The process usually takes 1-2 minutes.
3
Collect your belongings
Once cleared, you're free to enter Andorra. No additional forms or fees. Keep your passport accessible for any random checks during your stay.
