Andorre : à savoir avant de partir

L’essentiel

  • Andorra is outside Schengen. Check French or Spanish transit and re-entry requirements before booking.
  • Winter tyres or snow chains are required from 1 November to 15 May.
  • Check your mobile plan: EU roaming allowances do not automatically cover Andorra.

Entrée et visas

Andorra does not require a tourist visa; tourist stays are limited to 90 days. Access is through France or Spain, so you must meet their Schengen entry rules. If you need a Schengen visa, it must permit at least two entries for a trip into Andorra and back; repeated crossings require multiple entries.

Validité du passeport: For transit via France or Spain, non-EU passports normally must be issued within 10 years and valid 3 months after planned Schengen departure.

À la frontière, on peut vous demander

  • Hotels and tourist apartments register overnight guests; provide your passport details.

Douane

  • Andorra is outside the EU; purchases taken back into France or Spain are subject to customs allowances.
