Does Andorra Count Toward Schengen 90/180?

Andorra is outside Schengen, but access usually runs through France or Spain, so transit and re-entry records matter.

Checked against European Commission and Government of Andorra sources on July 5, 2026.

Andorra itself does not count toward Schengen 90/180 days because the Government of Andorra says the Principality is not a Schengen Area member.

That does not make Andorra a Schengen reset button. It also does not remove the practical issue of getting to Andorra through France or Spain.

Short answer: track Andorra separately, and track every France or Spain transit day as Schengen.

Is Andorra in Schengen?

No.

The Government of Andorra says Andorra is not a member of the Schengen Area. The European Commission's Schengen Area page lists 29 Schengen countries, and Andorra is not in that composition.

That means an Andorra day should not be entered as a Schengen country day in a Schengen 90/180 calculation.

Does Andorra reset your Schengen count?

No.

The European Commission says the short-stay rule is up to 90 days in any 180-day period. That 180-day window rolls.

Leaving Schengen for Andorra stops adding new Schengen days while you are outside Schengen. It does not erase the Schengen days already inside your rolling lookback.

Older Schengen days fall out only as time passes.

Why do France and Spain still matter?

The Government of Andorra says access to Andorra is through France or Spain.

France and Spain are Schengen countries. If your route includes France or Spain days, those days belong in your Schengen record.

That means a clean trip file should separate:

SegmentRecord
France or Spain transit and staySchengen day count
Time inside AndorraSeparate non-Schengen record
Return through France or SpainSchengen day count again

Do not label the whole route "Andorra" if part of it was in France or Spain.

What about Schengen visas?

The Government of Andorra says third-country nationals who need a Schengen visa should ask French or Spanish authorities and, depending on entries from Andorra, have a double-entry or multiple-entry Schengen visa.

Canada's travel advice gives the same practical warning that single-entry Schengen visa holders can face re-entry problems when returning to France or Spain.

This guide does not decide your visa status. It does explain why the return route matters.

What should travelers avoid assuming?

Avoid these shortcuts:

  • "Andorra is Schengen."
  • "Andorra resets Schengen days."
  • "All Andorra stays are stamped cleanly in a way that proves time outside Schengen."
  • "A single-entry Schengen visa is always enough for an Andorra side trip."
  • "France and Spain transit days do not matter."

If your margin is tight, get current advice before relying on a border or re-entry assumption.

Where Jetseen fits

Jetseen includes built-in Schengen 90/180 tracking. It also supports trip records, custom trackers, alerts, trip simulation, document attachments, and CSV export.

Andorra is not listed as one of Jetseen's built-in rule types, so use custom records rather than assuming Andorra-specific automation.

A practical Andorra setup:

  • use the built-in Schengen tracker for France, Spain, and other Schengen countries
  • log Andorra as a separate non-Schengen trip record
  • keep entry and exit evidence where relevant
  • simulate future Schengen returns before booking
  • attach visa documents if your route requires a Schengen visa
  • export CSV records for personal or advisor review

Jetseen can help maintain the record. It does not control border stamping, determine visa eligibility, or replace immigration advice.

If Andorra is part of your Europe route, Try Jetseen free for 14 days and keep the Schengen and Andorra records separate.
