3 Easy Steps to obtaining Andorra-Visa

Having a visa in your passport does not necessarily guarantee that you will be authorized to enter the Schengen area. The border police may refuse your entry. If you were granted a short-stay Schengen visa or were exempt from obtaining a short-stay Schengen visa during your arrival in Andorra, you must be able to satisfy all the border police’s requests and be able to show the following:

• Your passport (with a visa, if this applies to your situation);
• Supporting documents for the purpose of your trip to Andorra, your means of subsistence during your stay, and the means to return to your country of origin.
• You must have an insurance certificate covering all medical and hospital expenses for which you may be liable for the duration of your stay in Andorra and medical repatriation costs and expenses in the event of death.
• If you hold a multiple-entry Schengen visa, then you must carry a health insurance certificate during every trip.
• If you were granted an Andorra long-stay visa, the border police would only ask to see your passport containing the visa. It must have a stamp showing the date of entry into Andorra.

Under the provisions of European law, decisions about refusing entry visas to Andorra are justified.

Whenever you plan to travel throughout the Schengen Area, you are required to apply for the Schengen visa of the Schengen country where you plan to stay the most of your trip. In your case, the period of stay in each country is the same, so you need to apply for the visa to the one that you plan to enter first.

The embassy may request you to provide additional documents or information, according to your personal situation, even after you have submitted all the required documents mentioned on the official website of the Embassy/Consulate/Visa Application Center.
