What Cell Phone Coverage is available: Patient’s should check with their carrier to see if they offer international roaming plans and if Andorra is covered by those plans.

Do I need Health Insurance: Health insurance is required for all foreign visitors traveling to Andorra. Visitors from countries within the European Economic Area (EEA) should have a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) to cover any necessary medical treatment during their stay in Andorra. Visitors from outside the EEA are strongly advised to purchase comprehensive travel insurance that includes emergency medical coverage. It’s important to check with your insurance provider for the specific details of your policy, including any exclusions or limits, and to carry your insurance documentation with you while traveling.
Upon confirmation of your treatment, IAH Wellness can provide details of a policy you can purchase if required.
Are there any Visa Requirements: Andorra is a small, landlocked country located between France and Spain in the Pyrenees mountains and is not a member of the European Union. Citizens of the European Union (EU) and European Free Trade Association (EFTA) countries do not require a visa to enter Andorra and can stay for up to three months. Citizens of other countries may require a visa to enter Andorra, depending on the country of origin and the length of stay.
Visitors from some countries may be able to enter Andorra with just a valid passport, while others may need to obtain a short-stay visa in advance. It’s best to check with the nearest Andorran consulate or embassy for the most up-to-date information and requirements, as these can change from time to time.
