Latvian passport holders can enter Andorra without a visa for tourism or short stays. As of 2026, you only need your 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 limits.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your Latvian passport needs to be valid for the entire time you plan to be in Andorra. Andorra doesn't enforce a 6-month validity rule, but your airline might — check with them before you fly. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Andorra | Immigration officers at the border may ask for a return or onward ticket showing you'll leave Andorra within your visa-free period. Have a printed or digital copy ready. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Carry a hotel reservation or a letter from your host in Andorra. Officers rarely ask for it, but having it avoids delays at the border. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Sufficient money for your stay | You may need to show you have enough cash or credit to cover your expenses. There's no fixed amount, but around €50–100 per day is a safe benchmark. | Recommended |
Andorra is not in Schengen
Even though Andorra is not part of the Schengen Area, the 90-day limit applies cumulatively with Schengen stays. If you've already spent 60 days in Spain, you only have 30 days left for Andorra. Keep a running count.
No airport — plan your route
You must enter Andorra by road. The most common routes are from Barcelona (3 hours drive) or Toulouse (2.5 hours). Book a rental car or bus in advance. Border checks can cause delays during peak ski season.
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 will check your passport validity and may ask for your return ticket and accommodation details. The process usually takes 1-2 minutes.
2
Receive entry stamp
If you're entering from a Schengen country, you may already have a Schengen entry stamp. Andorra itself does not stamp passports, but the French or Spanish border police may stamp on exit. Keep your passport handy.
3
Enjoy your stay
Once through, you're free to explore. Andorra is a small country — most visitors head to Andorra la Vella for shopping or skiing. Remember the 90-day limit within any 180-day period.

Frequently asked questions
No, you do not need a visa. Latvian citizens can enter visa-free for up to 90 days within a 180-day period. This applies to tourism, business, and short visits.
You can stay up to 90 days within any 180-day period. This is the same as the Schengen Area rule, even though Andorra is not in Schengen. If you've already spent time in Schengen, that time counts toward the 90-day limit.
Your passport (valid 6+ months from entry), a return or onward ticket, and proof of first-night accommodation. Travel insurance is not mandatory but strongly recommended. Border officers may ask for any of these.
No, visa-free stays cannot be extended. If you want to stay longer, you would need to apply for a residence permit or visa from the Andorran government before your 90 days expire. Overstaying can result in fines or a ban.
No, Andorra has no commercial airport. You enter by road from France (via the Pas de la Casa border) or Spain (via La Seu d'Urgell or the Envalira Tunnel). The nearest airports are in Barcelona (Spain) and Toulouse (France).
If you're flying into France or Spain and then driving to Andorra, you need to meet the entry requirements of those Schengen countries. As a Latvian passport holder, you don't need a visa for Schengen either, so it's straightforward.
Overstaying is taken seriously. You may be fined, banned from re-entering Andorra for a period, or both. Always track your days carefully — use a travel app or calendar reminder.
