Andorra to Bulgaria visa requirements

No visa needed. Andorran ordinary passport holders can visit Bulgaria visa-free for short tourism, family, transit, or permitted business stays of up to 90 days in any 180-day period across the Schengen Area. Bulgaria is fully in Schengen, including land borders since 1 January 2025, and Andorran nationals are exempt from both ETIAS and EES registration. Bulgaria is a full Schengen Area member: internal air and sea border checks were lifted from 31 March 2024, and internal land border checks with and between Bulgaria and Romania were lifted from 1 January 2025. Andorra is listed in Annex II of Regulation (EU) 2018/1806, whose nationals are exempt from the short-stay Schengen visa requirement for stays of no more than 90 days in any 180-day period. An Andorran ordinary passport holder may therefore travel to Bulgaria for tourism or other short non-work purposes without a visa, with the 90/180 limit counted across the whole Schengen Area rather than separately for Bulgaria. Standard Schengen entry conditions still apply at any external Schengen border: the passport should be valid for at least three months after planned departure, issued within the previous 10 years, and the traveler may be asked to show the purpose of stay, accommodation, sufficient funds, and onward or return travel. ETIAS is not operating on 2026-06-19 and official EU guidance says it will start in the last quarter of 2026; even after launch, Andorran nationals are listed as exempt from ETIAS. The Entry/Exit System (EES) is now an operational Schengen border system, but official EU guidance lists nationals of Andorra as exempt from EES registration, so there is no EES pre-registration or biometric registration requirement for this route. Paid work, residence, or stays over 90 days require the appropriate Bulgarian national visa or permit.
