Frequently asked questions
Yes, you need a visa. Since Andorra has no airport, you must enter through France or Spain, so you'll need a valid Schengen visa (or be from a visa-free country for the Schengen area). Apply at the embassy of the country you'll transit through.
Processing time for a Schengen visa is typically 15 calendar days, but can take up to 45 days in busy periods. Apply at least 3 weeks before your trip.
No, the visa is not extendable. You must leave before your visa expires. Overstaying can result in fines or a ban from the Schengen area.
If you're just passing through the Schengen area to another country, you may need an airport transit visa depending on your nationality. Check with the embassy of the country you're transiting through.
It's not always required for entry, but it's strongly recommended. Medical costs in Andorra can be high — a basic policy covers hospital stays and emergency evacuation.
You'll need your valid passport (6+ months validity), return or onward ticket, accommodation confirmation for your first night, and proof of sufficient funds for your stay. Keep digital copies on your phone.
If you hold a residence permit from a Schengen country, you can enter Andorra without a separate visa. Otherwise, you need a Schengen visa.
