Residency in Andorra

Andorra residence permits are highly controlled and regulated. Each year, the State publishes the number of people who will be allowed to immigrate to the country, under all its forms. It also regulates the work permits and outlines which sectors and salary classifications are allowed—following the demand of the labor market. This allows a very low unemployment rate, ensures a quality standard of living and very high security.

Within the realm of Residency in Andorra, there exist several types of residence permits specifically designed for foreigners seeking to leverage the numerous advantages offered by the country.
