Processing times for Andorra visa applications vary by visa type, applicant nationality, and time of year. Standard processing is the default timeline, while expedited (express or priority) processing is available for certain visa types at an additional cost. During peak travel seasons, processing may take longer than usual. Always apply well in advance of your planned travel date to account for potential delays.

🏥 Health & Entry Requirements for Andorra

Andorra does not require mandatory vaccinations for entry. However, COVID-19 vaccination certificates may be requested depending on the current health situation. Since access is only through France or Spain, travelers must also comply with Schengen zone health regulations. No mandatory medical exams are required for short-stay visitors. Long-term residents applying for work or investment permits must undergo a medical examination by an approved physician in Andorra, including a general health check, chest X-ray, and blood tests. Travel health insurance is strongly recommended and may be required for residence permits. Police clearance certificates from your country of residence (less than 3 months old) are required for all residence permit applications. Biometric data collection is not currently part of Andorra's entry process, but Schengen biometric requirements apply when entering through France or Spain.

🕑 Visa Extension & Overstay Rules in Andorra

Tourist stays in Andorra are limited to 90 days within any 180-day period. Extensions beyond 90 days are not generally available for tourists — you must apply for a residence permit instead. Andorra does not issue visa extensions for short-stay visitors. For residence permit holders, renewals must be submitted 30-60 days before expiry at the Servei d'Immigració. Maximum continuous stay without residence authorization is 90 days. Overstay penalties include fines ranging from EUR 300 to EUR 3,000, possible detention, and deportation. Repeat offenders may face entry bans of 1-5 years. Andorran authorities are strict about unauthorized stays, and overstaying can result in difficulties obtaining future Schengen visas since you must transit through the Schengen area to leave Andorra. All overstay cases are recorded in immigration databases.

❌ Visa Refusal & Appeals for Andorra

Andorra residence permit applications can be refused for several reasons: incomplete documentation, insufficient financial means (below the required threshold of 300% of Andorra's minimum wage for passive residence), criminal record, previous immigration violations, or failure to meet health requirements. The refusal notification is provided in writing and includes the specific grounds for denial. Applicants have the right to appeal within 30 days of notification through the Andorran administrative tribunal (Batllia d'Andorra). The appeal must be filed in writing with supporting documentation addressing the refusal reasons. Reapplication is permitted after 6 months if the previous grounds for refusal have been resolved. Legal representation is recommended for appeals. A second refusal can be appealed to the Superior Court of Justice of Andorra (Tribunal Superior de Justícia). Processing times for appeals typically range from 2-4 months.
