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

What you need

  • Passport validity: Must be valid for at least six (6) months beyond the intended period of stay.
  • Specific forms: No specific pre-arrival form is required for a visa on arrival. Immigration officers will assist with documentation.
  • Financial proof: While not always explicitly requested, it is advisable to carry proof of sufficient funds to cover your stay (e.g., bank statements, credit cards). No specific minimum amount is mandated for tourist stays.
  • Accommodation and return ticket: Proof of confirmed accommodation (hotel booking, invitation letter from a host) and a return or onward ticket are generally required upon arrival.
  • Photo spec: One (1) recent passport-sized photograph (3.5 x 4.5 cm) with a white background may be requested upon arrival for the visa sticker.
  • Biometrics: Fingerprints and a photograph are typically taken upon arrival at the immigration counter for the visa sticker.
  • Travel health insurance: While not always strictly enforced for short stays, comprehensive travel health insurance covering medical emergencies and repatriation is highly recommended.

Visa on arrival

  • Which ports: Available at major international airports such as Blaise Diagne International Airport (DSS) in Dakar, and other official border crossings.
  • Steps: Approach the immigration counter upon arrival. Present your passport, explain the purpose of your visit, and have any supporting documents ready (return ticket, accommodation proof). You will be guided through the process of completing necessary paperwork, having your biometrics taken, and paying the visa fee. Your passport will be stamped with the visa.
  • Fee and accepted currencies: The fee is approximately 50,000 XOF. USD may be accepted, but it is strongly recommended to have XOF. Exchange facilities are usually available at the airport. Be prepared for potential variations in the exact amount.
  • Queue tips: Queues at immigration can be long, especially during peak hours. Having all your documents organized and readily available can expedite the process. Consider arriving with enough time before your connecting transport.

Fees & processing time

  • Visa fee: Approximately 50,000 XOF per person for a tourist or business visa on arrival.
  • Approximate USD fee: Equivalent to around 85 USD (exchange rates fluctuate).
  • VFS/BLS service fee: Not applicable for visa on arrival.
  • Total cost estimate: The total cost will be the visa fee. Carry sufficient local currency or be prepared to exchange money at the airport.
  • Standard processing time: Visa issuance is typically immediate upon successful completion of the process at the airport. However, the overall time spent at immigration can vary from 30 minutes to over an hour depending on passenger volume.
  • Express/priority option: There is no formal express or priority service for visa on arrival. The process is standard for all passengers.

Tips for Andorra travelers

  • How far in advance to apply: For a visa on arrival, no advance application is needed. Ensure you have all required documents ready upon arrival.
  • Common rejection reasons for Andorra applicants specifically: There are no specific documented rejection reasons for Andorra citizens applying for a visa on arrival. General reasons for denial worldwide can include insufficient funds, invalid passport, lack of return ticket, or suspicion of intending to overstay or work illegally.
  • VFS/BLS vs direct embassy application: For most short-term tourist and business stays, the visa on arrival at the airport is the most convenient option for Andorra citizens. If you require a long-term visa, a specific type of visa not available on arrival, or prefer to secure your visa in advance, you would need to contact the nearest Senegalese Embassy or Consulate abroad.
  • Any current travel advisories or bilateral notes: It is always advisable to check the latest travel advisories from your government (e.g., Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Andorra) and the official visa portal for Senegal (visasenegal.sn) for any updates regarding entry requirements or health recommendations. As of current information, there are no specific bilateral notes affecting Andorra citizens' entry into Senegal beyond standard visa requirements.
  • Extension options inside Senegal: Extensions are generally difficult to obtain and often require special permission from the Directorate of Territorial Surveillance (DSTS) in Dakar. It is best to apply for the maximum allowed stay initially. Attempting to stay beyond your visa's validity can result in fines and deportation.
