Andorra itself does not require a visa, but it is not part of the Schengen area and can only be reached through France or Spain, according to the Government of Andorra – Travelling to Andorra. Citizens of Monaco do not need a Schengen visa for short stays (up to 90 days in any 180-day period), as Monaco is listed in Annex II of Regulation (EU) 2018/1806 (consolidated version of 30 December 2025). Andorran passport holders do not need a visa for tourist stays of up to 90 days in Monaco, according to the Andorran Ministry of Foreign Affairs – tourist visas for Andorran passport holders (indicative information).

Passports and other formal consular services for Monégasque citizens are handled by the Monégasque Embassy in Paris (accredited to Andorra).

Monaco has no embassy in Andorra. According to the country pages of the Andorran Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the mission accredited to Andorra is the Embassy of Monaco in Paris. It is headed by Valérie Bruell-Melchior (ambassador since 10 July 2024).

What can an honorary consul do?

An honorary consul is not a career diplomat but a local resident – often a business person or lawyer – appointed by Monaco and approved by the host country. Depending on the powers granted, the honorary consul can help Monégasque citizens in an emergency (lost passport, accident, arrest), pass on applications and documents to the embassy, and certify signatures or life certificates. Passports and visas are not issued by an honorary consulate; they remain the responsibility of the embassy or a career consulate.
