Andorra is landlocked between France and Spain. You can only reach it by road from either country. No airports or train stations in Andorra.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for a Schengen Visa
Since Andorra has no visa-issuing facilities, apply for a Schengen visa (short-stay) at the French or Spanish embassy in your home country. Submit your application at least 4-6 weeks before travel. You will need your passport, photos, travel insurance (€30,000 minimum), flight itinerary, accommodation bookings, and proof of funds (e.g., bank statements).

Travel to Andorra via France or Spain
Fly into a Schengen airport (e.g., Barcelona, Toulouse, or Paris). After clearing Schengen immigration, cross into Andorra by road (bus or car). There are no border checks between Schengen and Andorra, but carry your passport and visa documents.
3
Enter Andorra
Upon arrival in Andorra, there is no formal immigration checkpoint. You simply drive or bus in. Keep your passport and visa handy in case of random checks by Andorran police.
