Andorra to United Arab Emirates visa requirements

Q: How long can I stay in the UAE?

The free stamp allows a 30-day stay from the date of entry. If you need longer, apply before expiry through the relevant UAE immigration channel; current ICP/GDRFA pages describe extensions as discretionary and subject to a 120-day total cap.

Q: Is the stay 30 or 90 days for Andorra?

It is 30 days. Some travel websites incorrectly group Andorra with the EU/Schengen 90-day category, but UAE visa policy places Andorra (with Monaco and Vatican City) in the 30-day group.

Q: Does the Schengen 90/180 rule or ETIAS apply?

No. The UAE is not part of the Schengen Area, so neither the Schengen short-stay rule nor ETIAS applies to UAE entry.

Q: What passport validity do I need?

Your Andorran passport must be valid for at least six months from your date of entry into the UAE.

Q: Can I extend my stay beyond 30 days?

Usually, yes, subject to the issuing authority's approval and current rules. ICP lists AED 100 application and AED 500 extension fees, while Dubai GDRFA lists AED 600 plus VAT and possible additional in-country fees.

Andorran ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa for short tourist trips to the UAE. On arrival they receive a free visa-on-arrival stamp granting a 30-day stay; no prior application or fee is required. Holders of an ordinary Andorra (AD) passport enjoy visa-free entry to the United Arab Emirates for tourism. At a UAE port of entry (Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, etc.) the immigration officer issues a free visa-on-arrival stamp valid for a 30-day stay; no embassy application, eVisa, or fee is needed before travel. The UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs and UAE Embassy visa-exemption pages list Andorra/regular passports as visa-free, and Emirates places Andorra in the free 30-day visit-visa-on-arrival group. Note that some travel aggregators incorrectly group Andorra with the 90-day category; Emirates lists Andorra in the 30-day group, while many EU/Schengen states and San Marino receive 90 days. The passport must be valid for at least six months from the date of entry, and travelers should carry a confirmed return/onward ticket. The UAE is NOT part of the Schengen Area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply. If a longer stay is needed, apply before expiry through the relevant UAE immigration channel; current ICP/GDRFA service pages describe tourist/visit extensions as discretionary, one-or-more times, with a total cap of 120 days and daily overstay fines if the permitted stay expires.
