Andorra does not issue its own entry visas. However, because Andorra can only be accessed through France or Spain, all travellers must first comply with Schengen Area entry regulations. For most short-term visitors (90 days or less), no visa is required, but appropriate Schengen entry permission is essential to reach Andorra.
Starting in late 2025, travellers from visa-exempt countries (e.g., the UK, US, Canada, Australia) must apply for an ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorisation System) authorisation before entering France or Spain en route to Andorra.
There are no direct international airports in Andorra. All visitors must transit through France or Spain. Therefore, you must:
Hold a valid visa or ETIAS authorisation if required for France or Spain
Andorra itself does not require a visa for stays up to 90 days. However:
Andorran immigration does not control the external borders; border checks are enforced by the French and Spanish authorities.
Andorra does not issue national visas. However, the following documentation is required to enter Andorra via France or Spain:
Travellers who are not visa-exempt for Schengen countries must apply for a Schengen visa.
Applicants qualifying for an Interview Waiver Program (by courier submission) should allow up to 21 business days for total processing and return

Applicants should ensure all documentation is accurate and complete to avoid delays.
Note: Andorra does not participate in the ESTA or ETIAS programs directly, but ETIAS authorisation is required to enter France or Spain, and thus is required for transit to Andorra.

Always check with the consulate of France or Spain for transit rules, and confirm that your airline permits boarding without a visa, if applicable.
