Concerning your visa status – PLEASE CHECK ONLINE! Please DO NOT send inquire e-mails!

If your intended stay in Principality of Andorra is up to 90 days from the date of first entry in the territory of the Schengen countries, you have to apply for a C-type visa (also called “Schengen visa” or a “short-stay visa”). A Schengen visa entitles you to travel to the 4 No-EU Countries (Norway, Switzerland, Iceland and Lichtenstein) which are members of the Schengen area, as well as 22 EU States . The process of applying for the visa depends on the country of your passport and your residency, as explained below. The visa decision process will take about 15 working days. You should apply a minimum of 3 weeks and a maximum of 3 months before your intended travel.

You must lodge the application for a Schengen visa Online or – if you intend to visit more than one Schengen State, the Consulate of the country which is the main destination of the stay (in terms of the length or purpose). If you intend to visit several Schengen States and the stays will be of equal length, you must apply at the Consulate of the country whose external borders you will cross first when entering the Schengen area.
