Guide last updated August 19, 2026. Always verify with official sources before travel.

What you need

  • Passport: Must be valid for at least three months beyond your intended stay in the Schengen Area (which includes the Netherlands) and issued within the last 10 years. It must also have at least two blank pages.
  • Proof of Sufficient Funds: You should be able to demonstrate that you have enough financial means to cover your stay. While no specific daily amount is mandated for visa-free travelers, it is advisable to carry at least EUR 35-50 per day of stay, or equivalent in a convertible currency. Bank statements or credit cards can serve as proof.
  • Proof of Accommodation: Evidence of where you will be staying, such as hotel bookings or an invitation letter from a host in the Netherlands.
  • Return Ticket: A confirmed return or onward ticket to your country of origin or another country you are permitted to enter.
  • Travel Health Insurance: While not strictly mandatory for visa-free entry, it is highly recommended to have comprehensive travel health insurance that covers medical emergencies and repatriation, with a minimum coverage of EUR 30,000. This is a requirement for Schengen visa applications, and good practice for visa-free travel.
  • Biometrics: Not required for visa-free entry. If applying for a visa (e.g., for longer stays or work), biometrics (fingerprints and photograph) would be collected at a visa application center or consulate.
  • Specific Forms: No specific application forms are required for visa-free entry. You may be asked to fill out an arrival card upon entry, depending on the airline or immigration procedures.

Visa types

  • As Andorra is part of the Schengen Area's visa-free travel list for short stays:
  • Visa-Free Short Stay (Schengen Area):
  • Official Name: Short-stay Schengen visa exemption.
  • Validity: Up to 90 days within any 180-day period for tourism, visiting family/friends, or short business trips.
  • Maximum Stay: 90 days.
  • Entry: Single or multiple entries are permitted within the 90/180 day limit.
  • Approximate Fee: EUR 0 (no visa fee).
  • For stays longer than 90 days, or for purposes such as work or study, Andorra citizens will need to apply for a specific national visa or residence permit before traveling. This typically involves applying for a long-stay visa (MVV) through the Embassy of the Netherlands in their country of residence or a designated embassy representing the Netherlands.

Entry conditions

  • Entry: Andorra citizens can enter the Netherlands and other Schengen countries for tourism or business purposes for up to 90 days within any 180-day period without a visa.
  • Duration: The maximum duration of stay is 90 days. This period is cumulative across all Schengen states. The 180-day reference period is rolling, meaning you must ensure that the total number of days spent in the Schengen area does not exceed 90 in any given 180-day period.
  • Work Restrictions: Visa-free entry does not permit employment in the Netherlands. Any work requires a specific work permit and visa.
  • What to show on arrival: Upon arrival, you may be asked by immigration officers to present:
  • Your valid passport.
  • Proof of sufficient funds (bank statements, credit cards).
  • Proof of accommodation (hotel bookings, invitation letter).
  • Proof of onward or return travel (flight tickets).
  • Travel health insurance (recommended).
  • Extension Options: Extensions to the 90-day visa-free stay are generally not possible, except in very exceptional circumstances such as serious illness or force majeure. You would need to apply for an extension with the Dutch Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND) and demonstrate compelling reasons. It is crucial to leave the Schengen area before your permitted stay expires to avoid overstaying, which can have serious consequences for future travel.

Fees & processing time

  • Visa Fee: Not applicable for visa-free entry for stays up to 90 days.
  • VFS/BLS Service Fee: Not applicable.
  • Total Cost Estimate: EUR 0 for visa application. Costs incurred would be for travel, accommodation, and personal expenses.
  • Standard Processing Time: Not applicable for visa-free entry.
  • Express/Priority Option: Not applicable for visa-free entry.

Tips for Andorra travelers

  • How far in advance to plan: While no visa is required for short stays, it is advisable to start planning your trip at least 1-2 months in advance to book flights and accommodation, especially during peak seasons.
  • Common rejection reasons for Andorra applicants: Since Andorra citizens are visa-exempt for short stays, there are no visa rejection reasons. However, entry refusal can occur at the border if you cannot satisfy the immigration officer of your intention to leave the Schengen area within the 90-day limit, or if you fail to provide proof of accommodation and sufficient funds.
  • VFS/BLS vs. direct embassy application: Not applicable for visa-free travel. For long-stay visas or residence permits, consult the official Netherlands embassy or consulate information for application procedures.
  • Any current travel advisories or bilateral notes: It is always recommended to check the official Netherlands government website (government.nl) and the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs for any current travel advisories or specific notes relevant to Andorra citizens traveling to the Netherlands.
  • Extension options inside Netherlands: Extensions to the 90-day visa-free stay are extremely difficult to obtain and are only granted in exceptional circumstances, such as severe medical emergencies or force majeure. You must apply to the Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND) and provide substantial evidence. It is highly recommended to plan your trip within the allowed 90 days and depart the Schengen Area before your stay expires.
