Andorra to Burundi visa requirements

Q: Does Burundi have an eVisa?

Burundi has an official CGM online visa/application portal at migration.gov.bi. The same portal is linked by the Burundi Embassy for travelers seeking visa on arrival.

Q: How much does a Burundi tourist visa cost?

The official CGM online form lists USD 90, or the equivalent in euros, for single-entry and multiple-entry visas. Embassy-post fees can differ; for example, Washington DC lists USD 70 for an embassy-issued single-entry visa.

Q: Is visa on arrival available?

Yes. CGM and U.S. State Department guidance indicate that visas are available at Melchior Ndadaye International Airport, but the Embassy of Burundi says travelers who want visa on arrival must complete the form before boarding.

Q: Do I need a yellow fever vaccination?

Yes. Burundi requires yellow fever vaccination proof for arriving travelers aged 9 months or older, so carry your International Certificate of Vaccination.

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

No. Burundi is in East Africa and is not part of the Schengen area, so neither the Schengen short-stay rule nor ETIAS applies.

Andorran (AD) ordinary passport holders need a visa for Burundi. The official CGM portal supports online visa applications, and Burundi also issues visas at Melchior Ndadaye International Airport; the Embassy of Burundi says travelers seeking visa on arrival must complete the form before boarding. Burundi is in East Africa, not the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply. Andorra is not on Burundi's published visa-exemption list, so an Andorran ordinary passport holder must obtain a visa for a short tourist visit. Burundi's General Commissariat for Migration (CGM) online form lists entry-visa categories and states that a single-entry visa lets a foreign citizen enter and stay for one month, costs USD 90 or the euro equivalent, and can be obtained online, at Melchior Ndadaye International Airport, or through embassies. The multiple-entry category also costs USD 90, permits repeated entries, and is listed with a one-month validity renewable up to twice, with a maximum stay language of 90 days. For visa on arrival, the Embassy of Burundi in Washington DC states that completing the form before boarding is mandatory. Requirements include a passport valid at least six months, a visa page, yellow fever vaccination proof for travelers aged 9 months or older, return/onward travel, accommodation or invitation details, and passport photos. Burundi is not part of Schengen; the Schengen 90/180 short-stay rule and ETIAS do not apply. Because no official source lists Andorra as visa-exempt, travelers should treat a visa/pre-application as mandatory before travel.

AD to Burundi visa-on-arrival and CGM visa details reverified

Rechecked Burundi CGM visa categories, Burundi embassy visa-on-arrival instructions, exemption lists, U.S. State Department entry guidance, CDC yellow-fever guidance, and related-route U.S./France references. Kept the eVisa/visa-required verdict but removed unsupported language about stopped automatic visa-on-arrival issuance, clarified that the CGM form is mandatory before boarding for visa on arrival, corrected processing-time certainty, added age-specific yellow-fever wording, replaced Wikipedia/irrelevant sources, and fixed the related U.S. VWP and France ETIAS notes.

AD to Burundi route verified

Verified against Burundi's CGM migration portal and Ministry of Foreign Affairs that Andorran ordinary passport holders require a visa; online visa (USD 90, 1 month) is the recommended route.
