Overview

Explore Andorra...​ 

Andorra is a small, landlocked principality in the Pyrenees mountains, known for its stunning landscapes, ski resorts, and status as a tax haven.

Fun Fact: The people of Andorra are naturally trilingual. As the only country in the world with Catalan as an official language, and due to its close proximity to France and Spain, most people also speak French and Spanish fluently.

Europe is home to 44 countries, each offering a rich tapestry of cultures, histories, and landscapes, from the snow-capped peaks of the Alps to the sun-drenched beaches of the Mediterranean.

Visa applications? Not exactly riveting, but often essential and always unavoidable.

We’ve done the research and pulled everything together to save you time, effort, and energy.

In the tabs, you can check if your child or student needs a visa for their trip. If they do, you’ll find clear guidance, embassy links, required documents, and step-by-step instructions.

And when it comes to submitting the application, parents really are best placed. After all, no one knows the travelling student better.

Parents should ensure that their child's documents meet the official travel requirements for Andorra.

If your child requires a visa to travel to Andorra (France/Spain), please apply using the same passport that holds their UAE residency visa. 

Review the sample documents and the relevant official checklists to ensure that all specific criteria are met.

Passport Validity (Minimum):

  • 3 months after expected return to UAE

No visa is required to enter Andorra; however, due to its location between France and Spain, if your child requires a visa to visit either of these countries, they will be required to obtain it before travelling by road to Andorra.

We recommend that all minors travelling internationally, without a parent or guardian, carry both a signed parental NOC and a school NOC with them. Samples of each are provided below. This can help to mitigate any potential issues at border control and streamline the immigration process.
