Nigerian passport holders need a visa to enter Andorra. Since Andorra has no airport, you'll fly into Barcelona (Spain) or Toulouse (France) and cross the border by road. Make sure your Schengen visa covers multiple entries if you plan to return through Spain or France. This requirement is in effect for 2026.

Schengen visa must be multiple entry
If you plan to return through Spain or France after visiting Andorra, your Schengen visa must allow multiple entries. A single-entry visa will not let you re-enter the Schengen area.
No airport in Andorra
Andorra has no commercial airport. You'll enter via Spain or France, so your Schengen visa is your ticket in. Plan your land transport in advance.
