Entry conditions and exceptions
Check whether these rules affect your eligibility, application, or arrival.
Your visa requirement is for the Schengen transit
Andorra does not issue or require a visa of its own. This route is marked as requiring a visa because access to Andorra passes through France or Spain and your passport needs Schengen permission for that transit. Check with the French or Spanish embassy or consulate responsible for your residence and itinerary. If your route leaves Schengen to visit Andorra and returns once, Andorra says to get a double-entry visa; use multiple entry for additional returns.
