Andorra to El Salvador visa requirements

Andorran (AD) ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa to visit El Salvador for tourism. Andorra is on El Salvador's visa-exemption list (one of 89 jurisdictions), allowing stays of up to 90 days as a tourist (the tourist card period can extend to 180 days depending on passport validity). On arrival you must buy a USD 12 tourist card at the airport, seaport, or land border. Note: time counts against the combined CA-4 limit shared with Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. Andorran citizens holding an ordinary passport are visa-exempt for tourist travel to El Salvador. El Salvador's visa policy places Andorra in its visa-free category, which entitles holders to a stay generally granted as 90 days for tourism (the tourist-card validity can run up to 180 days depending on the passport's remaining validity and the immigration officer's assessment). There is no advance application, embassy interview, or eVisa to complete. The only mandatory formality is purchasing a tourist card (tarjeta de turismo) for USD 12, paid in cash in U.S. dollars to immigration officials at the point of entry (international airport, seaport, or land border). The passport must be valid at entry and have at least one blank page; El Salvador uses the U.S. dollar as its official currency, so all fees are in USD. Importantly, El Salvador is a member of the Central America-4 (CA-4) Border Control Agreement together with Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. Under CA-4, the granted stay applies to the combined time spent across all four countries, not per country, so an Andorran traveler hopping between these nations does not reset the clock by crossing internal CA-4 borders. To stay beyond the tourist-card period, travelers must request a one-time extension from El Salvador's immigration authority (Direccion General de Migracion y Extranjeria). El Salvador is in Central America and is not part of the Schengen area, so Schengen 90/180 and ETIAS rules are not relevant to this route. Sources consulted (US State Department, Wikipedia visa policy of El Salvador, and visa requirements for Andorran citizens) are consistent: visa-free entry with a paid tourist card on arrival.
