Andorra to Sierra Leone visa requirements

Andorran ordinary passport holders need a visa for Sierra Leone, and the recommended route is the official eVisa applied for online before travel via evisa.sl. A single-entry tourist eVisa allows up to a 30-day stay and is valid for 90 days from issue. Yellow fever vaccination is mandatory for entry. A citizen of Andorra holding an ordinary passport is not visa-exempt for Sierra Leone. Sierra Leone's eVisa portal is the standard, recommended channel for most foreign visitors who are not ECOWAS citizens. The tourist eVisa is single entry, permits a stay of up to 30 days, and is valid for 90 days from the date of issue, with processing typically completed in 2-3 business days. Although a visa on arrival exists, official and tourism-board guidance discourages it because airlines may deny boarding without a pre-approved visa, so applying for the eVisa in advance is the safe approach. The eVisa fee for non-African nationals is commonly cited around USD 80-100 (plus any service/card fees), payable online. Separately, Sierra Leone requires an airport security fee of USD 25 before arriving at, and USD 25 before departing from, international airports. A passport valid for at least six months, a recent passport-style photo, proof of onward/return travel and accommodation, and a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate are required. Sierra Leone is in West Africa, not the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS are not relevant to this route. Travelers should always confirm current fees and rules on the official portal (evisa.sl) and via the IATA Travel Centre shortly before departure, as fees and entry health requirements can change.
