Andorra to Botswana visa requirements

Andorran ordinary passport holders need a visa for Botswana, which can be obtained online as an eVisa through the official portal at evisa.gov.bw before travel. There is no visa-on-arrival or visa-free channel for short tourist visits. Andorra is listed by the Botswana Tourism Organisation and Botswana mission guidance among countries whose citizens require a visa to enter Botswana, so an Andorran citizen traveling for tourism must obtain a visa in advance. Botswana accepts tourism visa applications online at evisa.gov.bw and through immigration offices, district offices and missions abroad. The Government of Botswana tourism-visa page says submitted applications are checked after seven to fourteen working days, while the Botswana Embassy in Washington advises applicants to allow twenty-one working days. The official tourism-visa fee is BWP 300 for a single entry for up to one month and BWP 500 for a multiple-entry visa for up to three months; some missions quote the same fees as US$30 and US$50. Applicants need a passport copy showing at least six months' validity, two recent colour passport photos, a covering letter, flight itinerary, accommodation booking, trip itinerary, intent to depart Botswana after the trip, and any required re-entry permit for the country of ordinary residence. Online supporting documents must be saved as one PDF. Because no mutual visa-waiver agreement exists between Andorra and Botswana, the correct verdict is eVisa (visa required, obtained electronically in advance). Botswana is in Southern Africa and is not part of the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply.
