Filipino passport holders need a visa to enter Andorra. Since Andorra has no airport, you'll enter via Spain or France, which are part of the Schengen Area. Plan your visa application well in advance — processing can take several weeks.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Schengen visa application Apply before travel | Andorra is not a Schengen member but requires a valid Schengen visa for entry. Apply at the embassy or consulate of the Schengen country you plan to visit first or spend the most time in. Processing takes 15–30 days, so apply well in advance.Visa info | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for entire stay | Your passport must be valid for the full duration of your stay in Andorra. No minimum validity beyond departure is required by Andorra, but your airline may enforce 6 months validity for Schengen transit. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure | Immigration officers at the Schengen border (you enter via Spain or France) routinely ask for a return or onward ticket. Have a printed or digital copy ready showing your exit from the Schengen area within 90 days. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Carry a confirmed hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host in Andorra. Border officers may ask for this during Schengen entry checks. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show sufficient means | Have bank statements or cash showing you can cover your stay — roughly €50–€100 per day. Schengen border officers can ask for this at entry. | Recommended |
Multiple-entry visa is mandatory
A single-entry Schengen visa will not work for Andorra. You must re-enter Spain or France after your visit, which requires a fresh entry. Double-check your visa sticker says 'MULT' before you travel.
Andorra is not in Schengen — but you still need a visa
Andorra has no visa policy of its own. To enter, you must first enter the Schengen Area (Spain or France) with a valid visa. Your time in Andorra doesn't count toward the 90-day Schengen limit, but the days you spend in Spain or France do.

Frequently asked questions
No, Andorra doesn't issue its own visas. You need a valid multiple-entry Schengen visa from Spain or France. A single-entry visa won't work because you must re-enter the Schengen Area when leaving Andorra.
There's no separate limit for Andorra, but your total stay in the Schengen Area (including time in Spain/France) cannot exceed 90 days in any 180-day period. Andorra doesn't count toward your Schengen days, but the days you spend in Spain or France do.
No. You must apply for a Schengen visa through the embassy of the country you'll enter first (usually Spain or France). In your application, mention Andorra as a secondary destination. The visa will be valid for the entire Schengen Area.
You won't be able to re-enter Spain or France after visiting Andorra. You'd be stuck in Andorra — which has no airport — and would need to exit through a non-Schengen country, which is impractical. Always get a multiple-entry visa.
The standard fee is €80 for adults (about ₱4,800), €40 for children 6–12, and free for children under 6. There may be additional service fees from the visa application center (VFS Global or TLScontact).
Processing usually takes 15 calendar days, but can extend to 30–45 days during peak season (summer). Apply at least 6–8 weeks before your planned travel date.
No. Andorra has no airport. You'll fly into Barcelona (Spain) or Toulouse (France), then take a bus or drive. The bus from Barcelona takes about 4 hours and costs around €35.
