Route summary

Embassy visa

No Andorran visa – but a double/multiple-entry Schengen visa is required

Andorra does not issue visas, but it can only be reached through France or Spain, so Malian passport holders need a double- or multiple-entry Schengen visa.

Conditions

  • Apply at the French or Spanish consulate (depending on where you enter).
  • Single-entry Schengen visas are not enough: leaving to Andorra uses an entry.

Business, work or just passing through?

The rules above are for a holiday: tourism and visiting family and friends. Business visits, paid work and transit are covered separately below.

Business visits to Andorra

Not verified yet (not yet covered). We haven't verified the business rules for Malian passport holders, and we don't publish rules we haven't checked against an official source. A rule that is awaiting verification or not yet covered is not a negative visa decision: it only means we haven't confirmed it on an official source yet. Until then, see home-affairs.ec.europa.eu.

Working in Andorra

⚠ Not from an official source: items marked below come from secondary sources (law firms, employer-of-record guides, IOM, Wikipedia), not the destination government. They are not verified and may be out of date; confirm with the embassy or immigration authority.

Transit through Andorra

Option 1
No airport – via Schengen neighbour (Spain/France) Conditional eligibilityTransit (changing flights in Andorra)

No airport: you reach Andorra via Spain or France, so Schengen rules apply (not from an official source)

Unofficial source – not verified

This rule is not from an official Andorra government source. It is based on a secondary reference source (dict.dyimin.com). Confirm with the embassy or the official immigration authority before you travel.

The World Visa Encyclopedia (dict.dyimin.com) says: “Entry and Exit Requirements for Spain and France (Schengen Area) When transiting through or visiting Andorra, travelers do not require an Andorran visa, but must instead satisfy the entry and re-entry requirements of Spain or France, through which they pass during border crossings.” Not from an official Andorra government source; based on the World Visa Encyclopedia (dict.dyimin.com), a single unofficial reference site. Low confidence, not verified - confirm with your airline before travel.

Conditions

  • Check the entry/transit rules of the neighbouring Schengen country you travel through.

Optional travel offers

Some links are affiliate links. Booking through them costs you nothing extra, and a small commission helps pay MyVisaPort’s ongoing hosting and maintenance costs and keeps the site free of banner ads. We only list services we think are useful, and they never affect the visa information we publish. These offers are not part of the visa guidance above and are never used to rank routes. How partner links work

Verify with the embassy before you book. Visa rules change without notice. We link every rule to its official source and last checked it on 4 Oct 2026, but the embassy, official e-visa portal and your airline have the final say.
