Guide last updated August 20, 2026. Always verify with official sources before travel.

Entry conditions

  • Passport validity: Must be valid for at least six (6) months beyond the intended period of stay.
  • Proof of onward or return travel: Passengers are required to present confirmed return or onward tickets.
  • Financial means: While not explicitly stated as a fixed amount, travelers may be asked to demonstrate sufficient funds to cover their stay.
  • Accommodation: Proof of accommodation (hotel booking, invitation letter) may be requested.
  • Visa requirement: Andorra citizens do not require a visa for stays up to fifteen (15) days for tourism and business purposes.
  • Work restrictions: Visa-free entry for tourism and business does not permit employment.
  • Extension options: Extensions beyond the initial 15 days may be possible by applying at the immigration authorities in Sao Tome and Principe, but this is not guaranteed and may incur fees.

Visa types

  • Andorra citizens benefit from visa-free entry for short stays. For stays longer than 15 days, or for purposes other than tourism and business (e.g., study, work, long-term residency), a specific visa would need to be obtained in advance from a Sao Tome and Principe embassy or consulate abroad. The application process and requirements for these longer-stay visas are not detailed here as they do not apply to standard tourist/business short stays for Andorra citizens.

Application process

  • As visa-free entry is permitted for Andorra citizens for stays up to 15 days, there is no formal application process required prior to travel for this category. Upon arrival at Sao Tome and Principe's ports of entry (e.g., Sao Tome International Airport - TMS, Principe Airport - PCP), immigration officials will stamp passports with an entry permit, provided all entry conditions are met.
  • What to show on arrival: Valid passport, proof of sufficient funds, and confirmed onward or return tickets.
  • Visa-free duration: Up to 15 days for tourism and business.

Fees & processing time

  • There are no visa fees for Andorra citizens entering Sao Tome and Principe for stays up to 15 days under the visa-free agreement.
  • Processing time at immigration upon arrival is usually immediate, provided all documentation is in order. There are no express or priority options as it is a visa-free entry.

Tips for Andorra travelers

  • How far in advance to apply: As visa-free entry is permitted, no advance application is needed. However, ensure all required documents are ready for presentation upon arrival.
  • Common rejection reasons for Andorra applicants specifically: While specific reasons are not documented, rejections typically occur if passport validity is insufficient, if proof of onward travel is not presented, or if there are concerns about the traveler's ability to finance their stay or intentions of overstaying.
  • VFS/BLS vs direct embassy application: Not applicable for visa-free entry. For longer-stay visas (if required), applicants would need to identify the nearest Sao Tome and Principe embassy or consulate and follow their specific application procedures.
  • Any current travel advisories or bilateral notes: It is always advisable to check for any recent travel advisories from your government or the Sao Tome and Principe government before departure. No specific bilateral notes significantly altering visa-free entry for Andorra are publicly listed.
  • Extension options inside Sao Tome and Principe: If a longer stay is genuinely required, travelers should contact the Directorate of Migration and Borders (Direção de Migração e Fronteiras) in Sao Tome well before their initial 15-day period expires. Approval for extensions is discretionary and may involve fees and further documentation.
