Pakistani passport holders need a visa to enter Andorra. Since Andorra has no airport, you'll enter via Spain or France, and you'll need a Schengen visa (or a valid residence permit from a Schengen country) to transit through those countries. Plan ahead — visa processing takes several weeks.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa application Schengen visa required | Andorra has no airport and no visa-issuing embassy. You must apply for a Schengen visa at the Spanish or French embassy in Pakistan. Apply at least 15 days before travel — processing takes 10–15 calendar days. The visa costs €80 for adults, €40 for children 6–12.Apply for Schengen visa | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for entire stay | Your passport must be valid for the full duration of your stay in Andorra. Since you enter via Spain or France, the Schengen zone rule applies: passport must be valid for at least 3 months beyond your planned departure from Schengen. Airlines check this before boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of exit from Schengen | Immigration officers at the Spanish or French border check that you have a return flight or onward ticket out of the Schengen area. A bus ticket to Barcelona airport or a train ticket to France counts. Budget airlines flying into Andorra via Barcelona or Toulouse enforce this strictly. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Carry a printed hotel reservation for every night of your stay in Andorra. If staying with a friend, bring a signed invitation letter from them plus a copy of their residence permit. Border officers in Spain or France may ask to see it. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Bank statement or cash | Have a bank statement showing at least €100 per day of your stay, or a credit card with sufficient limit. Spanish border guards occasionally ask for this if you look like you might overstay or work illegally. Cash is not required — card statements work fine. | Recommended |
No airport in Andorra
You cannot fly directly to Andorra. You must enter via Spain or France, which means you need a Schengen visa. Plan your transit carefully — the nearest major airports are Barcelona (3 hours by bus) and Toulouse (2.5 hours).
Visa processing time
Schengen visa applications from Pakistan typically take 15–30 days. Apply at least 4–6 weeks before your planned departure. During peak season (summer), processing can be longer.
