PASSPORTS, VISAS AND CUSTOMS

If you are a European Union citizen, you do not need a visa to enter. Transit agreements with Spain and France mean that, in practice, people arriving from any European state will not be subject to any special procedure. A passport or national ID card is sufficient to enter or to leave Andorra.

If you are a citizen of a country that does not belong to the EU but is in the Schengen area, you must bring a valid passport.

The Principality of Andorra is not part of the Schengen area and does not require any type of visa to enter.

The Principality can only be accessed through Spain or France, countries that are part of the Schengen area. For this reason, if you are a citizen of a third country and travel to Andorra, you must check beforehand whether you need a visa to enter the Schengen area, depending on your nationality.

When a Schengen visa is required, you must request and process it before your trip with the competent authorities of the country through which you plan to access the Schengen area.

Do bear in mind that entering Andorra means leaving the Schengen area. For this reason, when a visa is required, it must allow at least two entries to be able to access Andorra and subsequently re-enter the Schengen area. If you plan to enter and exit the Principality several times, you will need a multiple-entry visa.

Before you travel, we recommend that you verify the requirements applicable in your case through official European Union sources or the competent authorities of Spain or France, depending on the country through which you plan to access the Schengen area.
