Transit visa
- Andorra does not require a visa for ANY nationality. However, Burkinabés looking to arrive in Andorra will have to go through France and/or Spain.
- It is important for the non-resident of the Schengen zone to know if they need a visa to enter and leave the Schengen countries.
- To enter Andorra, Burkinabés will have to apply for a Schengen transit visa.
- This visa is valid for 24 hours.
- Andorra has not yet signed on to the Schengen Agreement, meaning it is necessary to pass through border control when travelling into/out of the country, either via Spain or France.
- Border controls with both France and Spain are more linked to customs control than immigration.
- Due to Andorra’s low VAT tax, travellers are often checked to ensure they are not importing greater than allowed quantities of mostly alcohol and tobacco to the Schengen Area.
- Despite border controls, the likelihood of being stopped and asked for travel documents is rare, but it is worth knowing you could be turned away at the border.
- You'll need valid medical insurance with a minimum cover of at least €30,000 for medical expenses, hospitalization, and repatriation when applying for this visa.
