Available to any nationality with a confirmed job offer from an Andorran employer. Requires police clearance, medical certificate, and proof of accommodation. The employer initiates the process.
Requires a minimum 600,000 EUR investment in Andorra (real estate, bank deposit, or Andorran companies) and physical presence of at least 90 days/year. No local employment permitted.
Granted to spouse and dependent children of an Andorran resident. Work authorization is not included; a separate work permit must be obtained to take employment.
Andorra does not issue tourist visas; visitors enter freely as the country has open borders with France and Spain, both Schengen states, and is easily accessible for EU/EEA citizens. Non-EU/EEA nationals typically access Andorra via France or Spain. Residency permits are required for stays beyond 90 days and are highly sought after for tax and lifestyle reasons.
Andorra issues active residence permits to foreign nationals who intend to work. Employment-based residency requires a contract with an Andorran employer and is subject to annual quotas. Due to Andorra's small size and labor market, work permits are typically straightforward for professionals in finance, retail, tourism, and tech sectors.
Spouses and dependent children of active residents may apply for passive family residence permits. Dependents wishing to work must obtain their own active residence permit with employer sponsorship.
Andorra is one of Europe's most attractive tax jurisdictions, with a personal income tax capped at 10% and a corporate tax of 10%. VAT equivalent (ISI) is 4.5%. Andorra has a growing double-tax treaty network, having signed agreements with Spain, France, Luxembourg, and the UAE, among others.
Andorra has a high-quality public and private healthcare system through the CASS (Caixa Andorrana de Seguretat Social). Residents access public healthcare by contributing to CASS. Private clinics in Andorra la Vella offer English-speaking services. The healthcare system is considered excellent for a small country.
Residents can open accounts at Andorran banks including Andbank, BancSabadell d'Andorra, and Creand. Requirements include a valid residence permit and proof of address. Andorra uses the euro and benefits from financial secrecy traditions, though it has signed OECD tax information exchange agreements.
Andorra offers a passive residency option for individuals who invest a minimum of EUR 400,000 in Andorran real estate or financial assets. Passive residents cannot work in Andorra but pay minimal taxes and enjoy free movement between France and Spain. This is a popular program for high-net-worth individuals and entrepreneurs.
