United States Visa for Andorra Citizens 2026

Andorra citizens require a visa to travel to the United States for tourism or business purposes, and must apply for a non-immigrant visa at a U.S. embassy or consulate, as they are not eligible for the Visa Waiver Program or ESTA.

How to apply

  • Visit the U.S. Embassy or Consulate website for Andorra (or the nearest designated U.S. Embassy/Consulate if Andorra does not have its own).
  • Complete the DS-160, Online Nonimmigrant Visa Application form accurately and truthfully. Save your Application ID.
  • Pay the non-refundable visa application fee. The fee is currently $185 USD for most non-immigrant visa types.
  • Schedule a visa interview appointment at the U.S. Embassy or Consulate. You will need your DS-160 confirmation number and the fee receipt.
  • Attend the visa interview. Bring all required documents, including your passport, DS-160 confirmation page, appointment confirmation, fee receipt, and supporting documents demonstrating your ties to Andorra and your intent to return.
  • If your visa is approved, you will be informed on how to collect your passport with the visa. Processing times vary.

Fees & processing time

  • Visa fee: The standard non-immigrant visa application fee is $185 USD. This fee is non-refundable.
  • VFS/BLS service fee: Not applicable for direct U.S. visa applications at an embassy or consulate.
  • Total cost estimate: Approximately $185 USD for the visa fee, plus any costs associated with obtaining supporting documents or travel to the interview location.
  • Standard processing time: Processing times can vary significantly depending on the embassy/consulate and the specific visa type. Typically, it can take from a few days to several weeks after the interview for a decision and passport return.
  • Express/priority option: There is no standard "express" processing option for U.S. non-immigrant visas. However, in rare, documented emergencies, expedited appointments may be considered by the consular officer, but this is not guaranteed.

Tips for Andorra travelers

  • How far in advance to apply: It is highly recommended to apply for your U.S. visa at least 2-3 months before your intended travel date to allow ample time for processing and potential delays.
  • Common rejection reasons for Andorra applicants specifically: Similar to other nationalities, common rejection reasons include failure to demonstrate strong ties to Andorra (e.g., stable employment, family, property), insufficient financial resources, or if the applicant is unable to convince the consular officer of their non-immigrant intent (i.e., intent to return to Andorra after their visit).
  • VFS/BLS vs direct embassy application: For U.S. visas, applications are processed directly at the U.S. Embassy or Consulate, not through third-party service providers like VFS or BLS.
  • Any current travel advisories or bilateral notes: Always check the U.S. Department of State's travel advisories and any specific notes for Andorra. Information can be found at travel.state.gov.
  • Extension options inside United States: Extensions of stay are generally difficult to obtain and are typically granted only in specific circumstances, such as completing a course of study or for urgent humanitarian reasons. You must apply for an extension before your authorized stay expires. Consult USCIS for specific details.
