Andorra is not Schengen
Your 90-day visa-free stay in Andorra is separate from the Schengen Area. You can spend 90 days in Andorra and still have your full Schengen allowance available. But remember: if you enter through Spain or France, those days count toward your Schengen limit.
No airport — plan your land entry
Andorra has no commercial airport. You'll arrive by road from Spain or France. Check your transport in advance — buses from Barcelona and Toulouse run regularly, but schedules can be limited in winter. Also, border checks can be quick, but have your documents ready.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Andorra's border
Andorra has no airport. You'll enter by road from Spain or France. At the border checkpoint (usually just a small booth), present your passport and any requested documents. The officer may ask your purpose of visit and accommodation details.
2
Show your documents
Hand over your passport. If asked, show your return ticket and accommodation confirmation. The officer will stamp your passport (or not — sometimes they just wave you through). Keep your documents handy until you're past the checkpoint.
3
Receive entry permission
Once cleared, you're free to enter. Your 90-day visa-free period starts from the date of entry. There's no separate visa sticker — just the entry stamp or electronic record.
