Andorra to Portugal visa requirements

Andorran ordinary passport holders do not need a visa to visit Portugal for a short tourist stay. Portugal lists Andorra among nationalities exempt from a Schengen short-stay visa, Andorra is in Annex II of EU Regulation 2018/1806, and Andorrans are also exempt from both ETIAS and EES registration. Portugal is a Schengen Area country. For short tourism, business or family visits, Andorran ordinary passport holders are visa-free for stays of up to 90 days in any 180-day period across the Schengen Area. Portugal's official visa portal lists Andorra among nationalities exempt from holding a short-stay visa, and EU Regulation 2018/1806 Annex II confirms Andorran nationals are exempt from the Schengen visa requirement for short stays. ETIAS is not yet operating and is scheduled to start in the last quarter of 2026; even after launch, the official EU Travel Europe ETIAS guidance lists nationals of Andorra as exempt, so no ETIAS application or fee is needed. The Entry/Exit System (EES) was progressively launched on 12 October 2025 and is fully operational since 10 April 2026, but official EU Travel Europe EES guidance states that nationals of Andorra are exempt from EES registration. For stays in Portugal beyond ordinary short-stay tourism, AIMA's EU national registration guidance says the right of entry, stay and residence in Portugal covers nationals of the EU, EEA, Andorra and Switzerland, and that Andorrans may request the EU national registration certificate after more than three months in Portugal. Travellers should still carry a valid Andorran passport and be ready to show purpose of stay, accommodation, sufficient funds and return/onward travel if checked at an external Schengen border.
