Andorra Guidance on EU Entry-Exit System

Key Point  

• Andorra issued updated guidance on how the EU Entry-Exit System will apply to travelers, confirming exemptions for Andorran citizens and residents. 

Andorra Confirms EES Exemptions for Citizens and Residents 

Andorra clarified how the EU’s Entry-Exit System (EES), which becomes fully operational in April 2026, will apply at its borders.  

Citizens and Legal Residents  

Under a new agreement with the EU, Andorran citizens and legal residents will be exempt from biometric registration and passport stamping requirements that apply to non‑EU travelers entering the Schengen Area.  

Cross-Border Travel 

Cross-border traffic with Spain and France will continue under existing procedures, avoiding anticipated congestion at key checkpoints.  

Non-EU Nationals 

Non‑EU nationals transiting through Andorra en route to Spain or France will still need to comply with EES requirements. Employers moving non‑EU staff through the region should ensure travelers are prepared for biometric checks when reentering Schengen territory.
