If you’re traveling from Andorra with an ordinary passport, I’ve got good news: you don’t need a visa to enter Russia for short stays of up to 90 days.
Thanks to an agreement between Russia and Andorra, tourists, business travelers, and anyone visiting family or friends can stay in Russia visa-free for up to 90 consecutive days.
How long can I stay in Russia without a visa?
Andorran citizens holding a regular passport can stay in Russia for up to 90 days within a 180-day period without needing to apply for a visa.
This is ideal for tourism, visiting friends or relatives, attending cultural events, or even short business trips.
If you plan to stay longer, or for purposes like study or work, then a visa will be required.
Entry requirements for Andorran travelers
Even though you won’t need a visa for short visits, you still need to meet certain entry conditions:
✅You must register in advance using the RuID app. This means providing your personal details and biometric data to generate a QR code, which you’ll present at the border when you arrive in Russia. You must do this at least 72 hours before arrival, but it’s best to complete it earlier — you can apply up to 90 days in advance.
✅Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended departure date from Russia.
✅ Upon arrival, you’ll need to complete a migration card (a simple form distributed on the plane or at border control).
✅ If your stay in the same location exceeds 7 business days, you must register your stay with local authorities (hotels typically handle this for you).
Is travel insurance required?
Even though a visa isn’t needed, I highly recommend having travel medical insurance that covers your trip to Russia.
Medical services can be expensive for foreign visitors, and an insurance policy can protect you from high costs in case of emergencies.
💡 Important: Unlike travelers from the EU or certain other countries, Andorran citizens are not required by law to present proof of travel insurance to enter Russia.
