Andorra to Senegal visa requirements

Andorran ordinary passport holders are NOT on Senegal's visa-exempt list (which covers EU states, the UK, Switzerland, USA, Canada, etc., but not the microstate of Andorra). Andorra falls in Senegal's Category B: a visa on arrival is issued free of charge at Dakar Blaise Diagne International Airport (DSS) for a short tourist stay of up to about 30 days, provided you carry a return ticket, proof of accommodation, a valid passport, and a yellow fever vaccination certificate. As of mid-2026, an Andorran (AD) ordinary passport holder traveling to Senegal for tourism obtains a visa on arrival (VoA) at Dakar's Blaise Diagne International Airport (DSS). Senegal abolished entry-visa fees in 2015 and now operates a three-tier policy: Category A nationalities (all EU member states, the UK, Switzerland, USA, Canada, Brazil, India, Japan, ECOWAS members and others) enter visa-free for up to 90 days; Category B nationalities receive a free visa on arrival at Dakar airport only; Category C must obtain a visa in advance. Andorra, although a European microstate, is not part of the EU/Schengen visa-exemption list applied by Senegal and is classified in Category B. The VoA is issued at no cost at the airport, normally for a stay of up to one month, and is granted only at Dakar Blaise Diagne International Airport — not at land borders or seaports, where advance arrangements would be needed. Travelers should carry a passport valid at least six months beyond arrival with a blank page, a confirmed return/onward ticket, proof of accommodation, and a yellow fever vaccination certificate (required for entry). Because Andorra is a small population not always explicitly itemized by aggregator sites, sources occasionally conflict (some list it as "visa required" or as visa-free); the authoritative Embassy of Senegal categorization places Andorra in Category B (visa on arrival). Given that ambiguity, travelers are advised to confirm with the nearest Senegalese diplomatic mission before departure and to retain documentation supporting the VoA at the airport counter. Senegal is in West Africa and is not part of the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply to this route.
