Yes, Andorran citizens need a visa for Vietnam. This surprises many travelers, because both neighbours, Spain and France, are on Vietnam’s 45-day visa exemption list, but Andorra is not. The simplest choice is the Vietnam visa for Andorran citizens issued online: a 90-day e-visa costing US$25 for single entry or US$50 for multiple entry, usually ready in about 3 working days.
If you also hold a Spanish or French passport, you can travel on it visa-free instead; a Portuguese passport does not help. This page explains which passport to use, how to apply, flights from Barcelona or Toulouse, timing, costs and who to contact.

How to apply for a Vietnam visa as an Andorran citizen
- Check your passport. It must be valid for at least six months after arrival, with blank pages.
- Type your name without accents. Copy the spelling from the two lines of letters at the bottom of your data page, which show how Catalan letters such as à, è, ç and l·l are written there.
- Prepare a 4×6 cm portrait on a white background, no glasses, plus a full scan of the data page. See our Vietnam visa photo guide.
- Apply on evisa.gov.vn or through our service if you want your form checked before it is sent.
- Choose your entry gate from the list of e-visa ports of entry, matching the airport where you land.
Cost of the Vietnam visa for Andorran citizens
The government fee is US$25 for single entry and US$50 for multiple entry, the same for every nationality. Andorran, Spanish and French Visa and Mastercard cards normally work for this payment. With a service, you pay the government fee plus a service fee, and the full total appears before payment. Compare all routes in our Vietnam visa cost guide.
When to apply: ski season, Tet and the time difference
Vietnam is 6 hours ahead of Andorra in winter and 5 hours ahead in summer. The 3 working days are counted on Hanoi time, so a form sent at noon on a Friday in Andorra la Vella arrives after office hours in Hanoi, and processing starts on Monday. Read more in our Vietnam visa processing time guide.
- After the ski season: many Andorrans who work in tourism travel in spring or autumn. Apply at least 2 weeks before.
- Tet: Vietnam’s Lunar New Year starts on 6 February 2027. Processing slows or pauses around it; in 2026 the pause ran from 14 to 22 February. Apply in January for a February trip.
- Flights: Andorra has no international airport. Most travelers fly from Barcelona or Toulouse with one stop, or take a nonstop Vietnam Airlines flight from Paris to Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City.
Embassies covering both countries
Vietnam for Andorra. There is no Vietnamese embassy in Andorra la Vella. Instead, the Embassy of Vietnam in Paris, France, covers Andorra. You need the embassy only for paper visas or special cases, not for an e-visa.
Andorra for Vietnam. Andorra has no embassy or consulate in Vietnam. In an emergency, such as a lost passport, contact Andorra’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which will tell you which mission can help. Spanish or French passport holders can also ask their embassy in Hanoi.
Worked examples
- Couple from Andorra la Vella with Andorran passports only, 2 weeks in Hanoi and Sapa: two single-entry e-visas (US$25 each).
- Andorran-Spanish ski instructor from Canillo, 4 weeks in the south in spring: visa-free on the Spanish passport for up to 45 days.
- Retired couple from Escaldes-Engordany spending 2 months in Da Nang: 90-day e-visas, since the stay is longer than 45 days.
