Kenyan passport holders need a visa to enter Andorra in 2026. Since Andorra has no airport, you'll fly into Barcelona (Spain) or Toulouse (France) and cross the border by road. You'll need a valid Schengen visa or a multiple-entry visa for Spain or France to transit through those countries.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa application Visa required | Andorra does not have its own visa system. You need a valid Schengen visa (multiple-entry) or a residence permit from a Schengen country to enter Andorra. Apply for a Schengen visa at the embassy of the Schengen country you will transit through first.Check visa info | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for entire stay | Your Kenyan passport must be valid for the entire duration of your stay in Andorra. No minimum validity beyond departure is required by Andorran law, but airlines may enforce 6 months — check with your carrier. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required | Immigration at the Andorran border (via France or Spain) will ask for proof of onward travel. Have a printed or digital return ticket or onward itinerary ready — budget airlines also check this before boarding. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Recommended | Hotel booking or invitation letter showing where you'll stay in Andorra. Border officers rarely ask, but having it ready avoids delays. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Recommended | Carry evidence of sufficient funds — around €100 per day of stay. Bank statements or cash are accepted. Not always checked, but useful if questioned. | Recommended |
No airport in Andorra
You must enter via Spain or France. Your Schengen visa must be valid for those countries. A single-entry visa may not work if you plan to leave Andorra and re-enter Schengen.
Border crossing is straightforward
There are no formal immigration checks when entering Andorra from Spain or France — you just drive or bus across. But keep your passport and visa handy in case of random checks.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for a Schengen visa
Since you can't get an Andorran visa, apply for a Schengen visa at the Spanish or French embassy in Nairobi. Book an appointment, fill the form, pay the fee (€80 for adults), and attend the interview. Processing takes 15–30 days.
2
Book your flights and accommodation
Fly into Barcelona-El Prat (BCN) or Toulouse-Blagnac (TLS). Book a bus or rental car to Andorra (about 3 hours from Barcelona). Reserve your first night's hotel in Andorra.
3
Cross the border into Andorra
At the border, present your passport with the valid Schengen visa. The officer may ask for your return ticket and accommodation. No separate Andorran entry stamp is given — your Schengen entry stamp from Spain or France is what matters.
4
Enjoy your stay and exit on time
Andorra allows up to 90 days within any 180-day period under Schengen rules. Don't overstay — it can affect future visa applications. When leaving, you'll re-enter Spain or France, so ensure your visa still has validity.

Frequently asked questions
No. Andorra doesn't issue its own visas. You need a valid Schengen visa (or a multiple-entry visa for Spain or France) to transit through those countries. Once you're in Andorra, no additional visa is required.
Technically yes, but only if you don't plan to leave Andorra and re-enter the Schengen area. Since you'll enter Spain or France first, that uses your single entry. If you leave Andorra back into Spain, you'd need a new visa. A multiple-entry visa is safer.
Up to 90 days within any 180-day period, following Schengen rules. Your stay in Andorra counts toward your Schengen total. Overstaying can lead to fines or future visa denials.
Fly from Nairobi (NBO) to Barcelona (BCN) or Toulouse (TLS) — most routes connect via Doha, Dubai, or Istanbul. From Barcelona, take a direct bus (3 hours, ~€35) or rent a car. From Toulouse, it's about 2.5 hours by bus or car.
Yes, border officers may ask for proof of onward travel. A return flight or bus ticket showing you'll leave within your visa's validity is sufficient. Keep a digital copy on your phone.
Not for Andorra itself, but it's mandatory for the Schengen visa application. Your policy must cover at least €30,000 in medical expenses and repatriation. It's also smart to have it for your own protection.
You must leave before it expires. Overstaying can result in a ban from the Schengen area and complications for future visa applications. If you need to extend, you'd have to apply in Spain or France before your visa expires — not from Andorra.
