Does Andorra count toward the Schengen 90 days?

No. Days you spend entirely in Andorra don't count toward your Schengen 90 days. But the day you cross from France or Spain into Andorra, and the day you cross back, do count, because you were in the Schengen area for part of each. That is how MyTravelStatus counts it. The catch is proof: the border record may not show that you left.

Why Andorra doesn't count

Andorra is not in the European Union and not in the Schengen area. The Canadian and UK governments both say so in their travel advice. The 90/180 rule limits your time in the Schengen area, so time in Andorra is time outside it, like a trip to London or Dublin.

The Canadian advice adds a practical point that confirms it: if you need a visa for the Schengen area, you should hold a multiple-entry visa to visit Andorra. Going into Andorra and coming back out is leaving the Schengen area and entering it again.

How you get there, and the checks you meet

Andorra is landlocked and has no airport. You reach it by road, from France over the Pyrenees or from Spain in the south. So every visit starts and ends in a Schengen country, and you must meet the Schengen entry rules to travel through France or Spain.

Andorra keeps border posts on both roads. What happens there for a visitor is less clear than the law. In a proposal of 7 September 2026, the European Commission wrote that, given Andorra's geography, systematic checks cannot always be carried out at these borders, and that without a registered exit, people can be recorded as overstayers in the Entry/Exit System. In other words, you may cross without anyone recording that you left the Schengen area.

How we count a trip through Andorra

Our rules engine looks at each date on its own. A date counts if at least one of your trips on that date is in a Schengen country, or in Monaco, San Marino or the Vatican. An Andorra trip on the same date neither cancels that day nor adds a second one. A date covered only by an Andorra trip doesn't count.

So enter a crossing day on both trips: the France or Spain trip ends on the day you cross, and the Andorra trip starts that same day. If you end the France trip the day before, the engine will think you were only in Andorra on the crossing day and count one day too few.

What you see in MyTravelStatus

• Trips page: an Andorra trip is labeled "Outside Schengen", with 0 days counted.
• Calendar: a crossing day shows as counting, with a marker for the second country. A day only in Andorra shows as outside Schengen.
• Calculator: choose Andorra as the country and those days are left out of the count.
• Adding a trip: when you pick Andorra, the form reminds you to keep proof of your stay.
• EES check (Plus and Pro): if the EU's own count differs from ours, we list your Andorra days as one possible explanation, because the EES may show you as still inside the Schengen area while you were there.

Keep proof you were in Andorra

Since border records can miss your exit, the days you save only help if you can show where you were. Keep hotel bills (UK advice notes that Andorran hotels register overnight guests with the police), card payments and receipts with dates, and fuel receipts from the roads in and out. If you're close to the limit, don't plan on Andorra days to get you under it.
