Indian passport holders need a visa to enter Andorra. Since Andorra has no airport, you'll enter via Spain or France and must have a valid Schengen visa (or be a resident of a Schengen country) to cross the border. Plan ahead — there's no visa-on-arrival option as of 2026.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa application Schengen visa required | Andorra has no airport and no visa-issuing authority — you must enter via Spain or France, which means you need a valid Schengen visa or a Schengen residence permit. Apply at the Spanish or French embassy in India before travel. Processing takes 15–30 days, expect to pay €80–€120 depending on age and nationality.Apply for Schengen visa | Required |
| Valid passport Must cover entire Schengen stay | Your passport must be valid for at least 3 months beyond your planned departure date from the Schengen area. Two blank pages are required for entry stamps. Airlines at Delhi and Mumbai check this before boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of exit from Schengen zone | Border officers at Spanish and French land crossings into Andorra routinely ask for proof of onward travel out of Schengen. Have a flight or train booking out of Spain or France ready. A bus ticket to Barcelona airport works fine. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel or rental booking | Immigration at the Schengen entry point (Barcelona, Toulouse, or Perpignan) may ask for your first night's booking in Andorra. A printed or digital hotel confirmation with your name and dates is sufficient. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds €100 per day of stay | Spanish and French border guards can request proof of sufficient funds. Carry €100 per day for your planned stay in Andorra, either in cash or as a recent bank statement. Credit cards are widely accepted in Andorra but cash is preferred for small purchases. | Recommended |
Schengen visa is your real requirement
Andorra has no visa of its own for Indian nationals. Your entire trip depends on having a valid multiple-entry Schengen visa. Apply at the Spanish or French embassy in India at least 4-6 weeks before travel.
No airport — plan your land route
Andorra is landlocked and has no airport. You'll enter via Spain (La Seu d'Urgell border) or France (Pas de la Casa border). Buses run daily from Barcelona and Toulouse.
What happens at the border
1
Get a Schengen visa first
Apply for a multiple-entry Schengen visa at the embassy or consulate of Spain or France in India. This is your entry ticket to Europe and Andorra. Processing takes 2-4 weeks, so apply well in advance.
2
Fly to Barcelona or Toulouse
Most travellers fly into Barcelona El Prat (Spain) or Toulouse-Blagnac (France). From there, take a bus or rental car to Andorra. The drive is about 3 hours from Barcelona.
3
Cross the border into Andorra
At the border checkpoint, present your passport and Schengen visa. Officials may ask for your return ticket and accommodation. The process is usually quick — under 5 minutes.
4
Enjoy your stay
Andorra allows stays up to 90 days within a 180-day period under the Schengen visa rules. No separate visa is needed once you're inside.
