Andorra to Japan visa requirements

Andorran ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa for tourism or short visits to Japan. Under Japan's reciprocal visa-exemption arrangement, Andorrans receive "Temporary Visitor" status on arrival for stays of up to 90 days. No visa, eVisa, or visa-on-arrival is required. The 90-day permission cannot be extended for tourism and does not allow paid work. Andorra is one of the countries/regions with which Japan maintains a visa-exemption (visa-waiver) arrangement for short-term stays. An Andorran citizen holding an ordinary passport may enter Japan for tourism, visiting friends/relatives, or business meetings without obtaining a visa in advance. On landing, an immigration officer grants "Temporary Visitor" (短期滞在) status valid for up to 90 days. This is confirmed by the Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO) and Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) visa-exemption list. Travelers should carry a passport valid for the duration of stay (six months recommended), proof of onward/return travel, proof of accommodation, and sufficient funds. The status does not permit employment or paid activity. For longer stays, work, or study, a proper visa and Certificate of Eligibility must be obtained beforehand. Japan's eVISA system is for travelers who need a short-term visa, and current MOFA guidance excludes travelers who are exempt from a short-term visa, so no Japan eVisa is required for eligible Andorran short-stay visitors. Japan is not part of the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS are not relevant to entering Japan; ETIAS would instead apply to Japanese citizens traveling to Europe.
