Tips for United States travelers

  • Plan ahead: For visa-free travel, ensure your passport is valid for at least 3 months beyond your intended departure from the Schengen area and that you have evidence of return or onward travel if asked.
  • Common issues: The main risk is the border officer determining that your stay exceeds 90 days in a 180-day period or that your visit does not align with the purpose stated; ensure you can justify the purpose and travel plans.
  • VFS/BLS vs direct embassy application: Not required for Andorra; for longer stays you would apply to a Schengen visa via the France or Spain consulate; check whether the consulate uses VFS/BLS services or direct submission.
  • Travel advisories: Check the latest U.S. State Department travel advisories and Andorra's official guidance on govern.ad before travel; ensure you have valid health insurance; know local emergency numbers.
  • Extension options: There is no official extension for visa-free stays in Andorra; to stay longer you must depart and re-enter or seek a Schengen visa through France/Spain before your stay ends; consult the governing authorities for rules on extensions and re-entry.
