AGP Executive Report
Last update: an hour agoAndorra in the travel rules spotlight: Andorra is listed among the nationalities exempt from the EU Schengen Entry/Exit System (EES) checks, even as the system is already operating across most Schengen external borders—meaning travellers’ paperwork and biometric processing are becoming a bigger operational issue for airports in countries still outside the setup. UK border tech: The UK has made its Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) mandatory for visa-free visitors from 85 countries, with a £16 fee and up to two years’ validity, tightening boarding rules for travellers without the digital clearance. US visa waiver update: The US has published its latest Visa Waiver Programme list, requiring ESTA digital clearance before boarding for eligible nationals, including Andorra. Saudi eVisa expansion: Saudi Arabia launched its 2026 tourist eVisa for citizens of 66 countries, offering one-year, multiple-entry access for up to 90 days per visit (excluding Hajj and study). Local culture/business note: RTVA confirmed Andorra will not return to Eurovision 2027, while the wider economy beat includes a surge in “coolcation” demand that adds Switzerland and Andorra to new mountain-holiday line-ups.
