Sri Lankan passport holders need a visa to enter Andorra. Since Andorra has no airport, you'll enter through Spain or France, and you must arrange the visa in advance through an Andorran embassy or consulate. Plan ahead — processing can take several weeks.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa application Apply for a visa before travel | Andorra does not issue its own visas. You need a valid Schengen visa or a multiple-entry visa for France or Spain to enter Andorra. Apply at the embassy of France or Spain in Sri Lanka — processing takes 10–15 working days. Carry a printed copy of your visa approval and the passport you used for the application.Check Andorra visa info | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for the entire stay | Your passport must be valid for at least 3 months beyond your planned departure from the Schengen area. Since you enter via France or Spain, border officers enforce this rule strictly. Airlines also check this before boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Schengen area | Immigration officers at the Schengen entry point (France or Spain) will ask for a return or onward ticket showing you leave the Schengen zone within your visa's validity. Budget airlines check this at check-in too. Have a printed or digital copy ready. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Carry a confirmed hotel reservation for your entire stay in Andorra, or a signed invitation letter from your host. Schengen border officers sometimes ask for this at the point of entry. A booking confirmation on your phone works. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can cover your stay | Have bank statements or a credit card showing at least €60–€100 per day of your stay. Schengen officers rarely ask, but if they do, you need to prove you can pay for accommodation, food, and transport without working. | Recommended |
No airport in Andorra
You must fly into Spain or France first (Barcelona or Toulouse are the closest major airports), then take a bus or drive to Andorra. Your visa will be checked at the land border.
Visa required even for short visits
There is no visa waiver for Sri Lankan passport holders, regardless of how short your stay is. Always apply in advance.
