Do you need your passport to visit Andorra? 


Updated January 2024

Yes, you need a passport to visit Andorra. Even on a 1 day tour to Andorra you must bring a valid passport or a national identity card

The border control might ask to see a passport or identity card both upon entering and leaving Andorra.

Andorra is not in the EU European Union - and is not in the Schengen zone. This means that if you are a citizen of a country inside the Schengen area you wonçt need a visa, just your passport.

If you are a citizen of a country outside the Schengen zone, then you will both need passport a Schengen multiple-entry visa to cross the border between either Spain and France in Andorra.
