Planning a getaway to the world’s fourth-largest island? For citizens of Andorra, the dream of seeing lemurs in the wild, walking through the mystical Avenue of the Baobabs, or diving in the crystal-clear waters of Nosy Be is now easier than ever. Thanks to the digital “Electronic Landing Authorization” system, you can secure your travel permit from the comfort of your home in Andorra la Vella or anywhere else in the Principality.
In this comprehensive guide, we break down everything you need to know about the Madagascar eVisa for Andorra citizens—from processing speeds to arrival logistics—ensuring your journey to the “Red Island” begins with total peace of mind.
Do citizens of Andorra need a visa to enter Madagascar?
Yes, all citizens of Andorra are required to have a valid visa to enter Madagascar. While the island is known for its incredible hospitality, there is no visa-exemption agreement currently in place for Andorran passport holders. Fortunately, the days of visiting distant embassies or mailing away your passport are over. The entire application process is now handled through a 100% online eVisa system, allowing you to obtain your landing authorization digitally before you even pack your bags.
What are the different types of Madagascar Tourist eVisas available?
Depending on the length of your adventure, you can choose from three primary tourist visa categories. These are all Single Entry visas designed specifically for leisure, tourism, and exploration:
- 15 Days eVisa: This is the perfect choice for travelers planning a quick island hop, a focused trekking tour in a specific national park, or a short luxury getaway to a coastal resort.
- 30 Days eVisa: Our most popular option. A month gives you enough time to explore the Highlands, visit the rainforests of the east, and still have a few days to relax on the southern beaches.
- 60 Days eVisa: For the true adventurer. If you want to see the remote Tsingy de Bemaraha, travel the long Route Nationale 7, and truly immerse yourself in Malagasy culture, this extended stay is ideal.
How long does the Madagascar eVisa processing take?
We recognize that travel plans can range from meticulously planned months in advance to spontaneous last-minute decisions. To accommodate every traveler from Andorra, we offer three distinct processing tiers:
- Standard Processing (4 – 6 Working Days): The best choice for those who have planned their trip in advance and want the most cost-effective option.
- Rush Processing (2 – 4 Working Days): If your departure date is approaching quickly and you need your documents secured by the end of the week, this is the way to go.
- Super Rush Processing (1 – 3 Working Days): Our fastest service for emergency travel or very last-minute bookings. We prioritize your application to ensure you don’t miss your flight.
What are the document requirements for Andorra citizens?
The Madagascar eVisa system is designed to be as user-friendly as possible, meaning the paperwork is kept to an absolute minimum. You won’t need to provide bank statements or complicated invitation letters.
- The Main Requirement: You only need to upload a clear, high-quality digital scan of your Original passport. Ensure the biographical page (the one with your photo and details) is fully visible without glare.
- Validity Rule: Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the date you intend to enter Madagascar. It must also have at least two blank pages for the entry and exit stamps.
How can I apply for a Madagascar eVisa online from Andorra?
The Madagascar eVisa application process is entirely paperless and can be completed from any device with internet access. Simply visit our simplified form at evisa-madagascar.it.com. You will need to enter your basic travel details, upload your passport scan, and choose your processing speed. Once approved, your landing authorization is sent directly to your email as a PDF. You just need to print it out and present it at the immigration counter upon arrival at Ivato (Antananarivo) or other major international airports.
How much does the Madagascar eVisa cost for Andorran travelers?
The total Madagascar eVisa cost is determined by two factors: the duration of your stay (15, 30, or 60 days) and the processing speed you select.
🌟 Exclusive Group Discount: To make your journey even more affordable, we are currently offering a 40% OFF discount on the Rush and Super Rush processing fees for multiple applicants.

One person can act as the primary applicant and submit the details for everyone in the travel party in a single session. This not only saves time but also guarantees that your group’s applications are processed together. Plus, this is the easiest way to trigger our 40% discount for multiple travelers!
What are the rules for children and minors traveling to Madagascar?
In Madagascar, every traveler is treated as an individual. This means that regardless of age, every child or infant from Andorra must have their own individual eVisa and their own valid passport. Children cannot be “attached” to a parent’s visa. If a minor is traveling with only one parent or a legal guardian, we strongly suggest carrying a notarized letter of consent from the non-traveling parent to avoid any delays at the border.
Can I enter Madagascar after my approved arrival date?
Your Madagascar eVisa is an authorization to land during a specific window. While you should aim to arrive on the date specified in your application, the authorization generally remains valid for a short period afterward. However, you must never arrive before the start date listed on your eVisa, as the immigration system will not recognize it as valid yet. If your flight is delayed by a day or two, you should still be able to enter without issue.
Agent vs government eVisa portal – which is better?
While a government portal exists, many citizens of Andorra prefer the peace of mind that comes with using a professional service like evisa-madagascar.it.com.
- Human Review: We don’t just pass your data along; our experts review your passport scans for clarity and check for common typos that lead to rejection.
- Simplified Experience: Government sites can often be technical or slow. Our interface is designed for speed and simplicity.
- Real Support: If something goes wrong at 2 AM, a government site won’t answer your call. Our 24/7 support team will.
Is the entry authorization converted to a physical visa on arrival?
Yes, it is important to understand that the document you receive via email is technically a “Landing Authorization.” Once you land at the airport in Madagascar, you will see a dedicated “eVisa” lane. You present your printed authorization and your passport there. The immigration officer will then print a physical visa sticker, place it in your passport, and apply the entry stamp. This process is usually much faster than the standard “Visa on Arrival” queue.
How often can I enter Madagascar in a single year?
Madagascar does not have a strict limit on the number of times you can visit per year, as long as you are visiting for genuine tourism purposes. However, because the eVisa is a Single Entry permit, it expires the moment you leave the country. If you wish to visit Madagascar, fly to Mauritius, and then return to Madagascar, you will need to apply for a brand-new eVisa for your second entry.
What activities are allowed on a Tourist eVisa?
The Madagascar Tourist eVisa is designed for leisure and cultural immersion. Allowed activities include sightseeing, wildlife photography, visiting national parks, beach holidays, and visiting family or friends. However, this visa strictly prohibits any form of paid work, business negotiations, or long-term study. Engaging in non-tourist activities can lead to fines or deportation, so ensure your trip stays within the realm of exploration.
How do I handle taxis and transport after landing?
Navigating transport in a new country can be daunting. After clearing immigration at Ivato Airport, you will find official airport taxis. We recommend using these over “unlicensed” drivers. For budget-conscious travelers, “Taxi-be” (large communal vans) operate on set routes, but for convenience, a private licensed taxi is best. Always agree on the price before you put your luggage in the car, as meters are rarely used. Many hotels also offer pre-arranged shuttle services which can be a great stress-free option.
What steps should I take after receiving my approved eVisa?
Once that approval email hits your inbox, the first thing you should do is check the details for accuracy. Then, print at least two copies. Keep one in your carry-on luggage and another in your main suitcase. While digital copies on your phone are helpful, immigration officers in Madagascar specifically require a physical paper copy to process your entry at the border.
What are the best travel tips for Andorra citizens in Madagascar?
- Health: Madagascar is a tropical environment. Consult your doctor about malaria prophylaxis and check if you require a Yellow Fever certificate if you are transiting through certain African hubs.
- Money: The local currency is the Ariary (MGA). While major hotels in Antananarivo accept Euros or Credit Cards, you will need cash for smaller villages and local markets.
- Connectivity: Buying a local SIM card (like Telma or Orange) at the airport is very affordable and provides good coverage in most tourist areas.
