Andorra to France visa requirements

No visa is required for short visits to France. The France/Spain/Andorra convention allows Andorran nationals to enter and stay in France for up to 90 days on simple presentation of a national identity document, passport or other valid travel document. Stays over 90 days require a residence permit (titre de sejour), and Andorran nationals are exempt from ETIAS and EES registration. France is part of the Schengen Area, and Andorra is covered by both the EU Schengen visa-exempt framework and the France/Spain/Andorra convention published by Legifrance. For France-Andorra short stays, the convention is the most specific rule: an Andorran national may enter and stay in France for up to 90 days without a visa on simple presentation of a national identity document, passport or other valid travel document. For a stay over 90 days, the convention requires a residence permit (titre de sejour) whose validity is set under French law. For wider Schengen travel, the ordinary short-stay ceiling remains 90 days in any 180-day period across the Schengen Area. Andorran nationals are exempt from ETIAS under EU rules and are also exempt from Entry/Exit System (EES) registration; the European Commission states EES has been fully operational since 10 April 2026. Travellers should still be ready to explain the visit and show accommodation, sufficient funds, travel medical insurance and return or onward travel if asked. There is no visa, ETIAS or EES fee for this route.
