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

Entry conditions

  • Passport validity: Must be valid for at least 3 months beyond your intended stay and issued within the last 10 years.
  • Duration of stay: Up to 90 days within any 180-day period.
  • Purpose of visit: Tourism, business meetings, short-term studies, or visiting family/friends. Paid employment is generally not permitted without a separate work permit.
  • On arrival: You may be asked to present evidence of sufficient funds for your stay (e.g., bank statements, credit cards with statements), proof of accommodation (hotel bookings, invitation letter), and a return or onward ticket.
  • Work restrictions: Visa-free entry does not permit you to take up employment in Poland. For work, a specific work visa is required.
  • Extension options: Generally, extensions are not granted for visa-free stays. To stay longer, you would typically need to depart Poland and re-enter, or apply for a different type of permit from within Poland if eligible, which can be complex. Consult the Office for Foreigners (Urząd do Spraw Cudzoziemców) for specific guidance.

Visa types

  • Andorra citizens do not require a visa for short stays in Poland under the Schengen Agreement. For longer stays or purposes other than tourism/short business trips, such as long-term study or work, a visa or residence permit will be necessary.
  • Schengen Visa (Type C): This is for short stays up to 90 days in any 180-day period. However, as Andorra is a visa-exempt country for the Schengen Area, Andorra citizens do not need to apply for this for short stays.
  • National Visa (Type D): For long-term stays (more than 90 days) for purposes like work, study, or family reunification. This requires an application at the Polish Embassy or Consulate in your country of residence.
  • For long-term stays (Type D visa):
  • Official name: National Visa (Type D)
  • Validity: Varies based on the purpose of stay, typically issued for the duration of the study program or employment contract.
  • Max stay: Varies, usually longer than 90 days.
  • Entry: Single or multiple entry, depending on the visa issued.
  • Approximate fee: For a national visa, the fee is typically around EUR 80, subject to change. There may be additional service fees if applying through a visa center.

Tips for Andorra travelers

  • For short stays (up to 90 days):
  • No advance application is needed as Andorra is visa-exempt for Schengen. Ensure you meet the entry conditions (passport, funds, accommodation, return ticket).
  • Be prepared to show proof of funds and accommodation at the border.
  • Familiarize yourself with the Schengen Area's 90/180-day rule to avoid overstaying.
  • For long-term stays (National Visa - Type D):
  • Apply well in advance. Start your application process at least 2-3 months before your intended travel date, as processing can be lengthy.
  • Verify the exact documentation requirements directly with the Polish Embassy or Consulate handling your application. Requirements can change.
  • Ensure your passport is valid for at least 3 months beyond your intended stay and has sufficient blank pages.
  • Obtain comprehensive travel health insurance that meets Schengen requirements (minimum EUR 30,000 coverage).
  • Common rejection reasons for visa applications in general include insufficient financial means, lack of clear purpose of visit, unconvincing ties to the home country, and incomplete or fraudulent documentation. Specific reasons for Andorra citizens seeking long-term visas would align with these general principles.
  • Extension options inside Poland for long-term stays depend on the type of visa and your specific situation. Consult the Office for Foreigners (Urząd do Spraw Cudzoziemców) for detailed information and procedures if you need to extend your stay or change your status.
