What you need

  • Passport validity: Must be valid for at least three months beyond your intended stay and have at least two blank pages.
  • Application form: Schengen visa application form, completed and signed. Download from the website of the French Embassy or Consulate in Angola.
  • Financial proof: Bank statements for the last six months showing sufficient funds to cover your stay. Minimum required daily amount is 70 EUR per day in Andorra, but higher amounts are advisable. Proof of accommodation (hotel bookings or invitation letter with proof of accommodation) and return flight ticket reservation are also required.
  • Photos: Two recent passport-sized photographs (3.5 cm x 4.5 cm), white background, neutral expression.
  • Biometrics: Fingerprints and photograph will be taken. Submission is at the designated visa application center (e.g., VFS Global) or the French Consulate.
  • Travel health insurance: Mandatory. Must cover medical expenses, hospitalization, and repatriation with a minimum coverage of EUR 30,000, valid in all Schengen countries.

Visa types

  • Schengen Visa (Uniform): This is the visa type Angola citizens need to enter Andorra. As Andorra is not in the Schengen Area, a valid Schengen visa is typically required for entry.
  • Official Name: Uniform Schengen Visa (Type C).
  • Validity: Typically issued for short stays (up to 90 days within a 180-day period).
  • Max Stay: Up to 90 days within any 180-day period.
  • Entry: Can be single or multiple entry, depending on the applicant's profile and travel history.
  • Approximate Fee: Standard Schengen visa fee is EUR 80. For children aged 6-12, it's EUR 40. Children under 6 are free. Fees are subject to change.

How to apply

  • Application Process: Since Andorra does not have its own visa issuance facilities and its borders are effectively controlled by France, Spain, and Portugal, Angola citizens must apply for a Schengen visa through the French Embassy or Consulate in Angola, or their designated visa application center (e.g., VFS Global).
  • Steps:
  • 1. Determine the correct visa type (most likely short-stay Schengen).
  • 2. Book an appointment online through the French Embassy/Consulate or VFS Global website.
  • 3. Gather all required documents as listed in the 'What you need' section.
  • 4. Complete the Schengen visa application form accurately.
  • 5. Attend your appointment for submission of documents, biometrics, and fee payment.
  • 6. Attend a potential interview if requested by the consular officer.
  • 7. Collect your passport with the visa sticker (if approved).
  • Documents Checklist:
  • Completed and signed Schengen visa application form.
  • Valid passport.
  • Two recent passport-sized photographs.
  • Proof of travel medical insurance.
  • Flight reservations.
  • Proof of accommodation.
  • Proof of financial means (bank statements, pay slips).
  • Proof of employment or student status (letter from employer or university).
  • Cover letter explaining the purpose of your visit.
  • Visa fee payment receipt.
  • Fee Payment: The visa fee is usually paid in USD or local currency (Angolan Kwanza - AOA) at the visa application center or embassy. The exact amount in AOA will depend on the current exchange rate. Check the VFS Global website or French Embassy for the precise amount and accepted payment methods (cash, card).

Fees & processing time

  • Visa Fee: Standard Schengen visa fee is EUR 80, approximately 88 USD. For children aged 6-12, it's EUR 40, approximately 44 USD.
  • VFS/BLS Service Fee: If applying through VFS Global or a similar service provider, expect an additional service fee of approximately EUR 30-40 (around 33-44 USD).
  • Total Cost Estimate: Expect a total cost of around EUR 110-120 (approximately 121-132 USD) per applicant, excluding potential additional service charges or optional courier fees.
  • Standard Processing Time: Typically 15 calendar days. However, it can take longer, up to 45 days, in specific cases or during peak seasons.
  • Express/Priority Option: Not officially available for standard Schengen visa applications. Processing times are generally fixed, but it is advisable to apply well in advance.

Tips for Angola travelers

  • How far in advance to apply: Apply at least 1-2 months before your planned travel date to allow for processing time and potential delays.
  • Common rejection reasons for Angola applicants specifically: Insufficient proof of financial means, unclear travel itinerary, lack of strong ties to Angola (e.g., unstable employment, family ties not clearly demonstrated), previous visa violations, and incomplete or inaccurate application forms are common reasons.
  • VFS/BLS vs direct embassy application: Applying through VFS Global or a similar service center can be more convenient due to online appointment scheduling and often more accessible locations. However, the ultimate decision rests with the Embassy/Consulate. Direct application to the Embassy might be an option if available and preferred.
  • Any current travel advisories or bilateral notes: Always check the latest travel advisories from your government and the French Embassy in Angola before planning your trip. Ensure your passport is up-to-date and meets Andorra's entry requirements.
  • Extension options inside Andorra: Visa extensions are generally not possible within Andorra. If you need to stay longer, you must apply for an extension from your home country or through the relevant authorities in the country of the Schengen visa issuing embassy before your visa expires. Andorra's visa policy is aligned with the Schengen Area, so Schengen rules apply.
