  • 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.
