Summary
Andorra's digital nomad residence is for newcomers whose work does not require a fixed geographic location and can be done through telecommunications and technology. It allows residence in Andorra but depends on a favorable classification from the ministry responsible for the economy.
The route is relevant only where the economy ministry issues the required favorable decision that the person's work does not require a fixed location and uses telecommunications and technology. Having an ordinary work-from-home arrangement is not enough by itself.
Eligibility
You may be a fit if:
- Your work can be done from anywhere using telecommunications and technology.
- You do not need to work for Andorran clients or a fixed Andorran workplace to keep earning.
- You can obtain the required favorable resolution from the economy ministry.
- You can spend at least 90 days per calendar year in Andorra.
- You can show housing or a qualifying path to housing.
- You can show economic means for yourself and any dependents for the full permit period. The official page does not publish a fixed euro figure in the route summary; it says the amount must meet the requirements set by regulation.
- You maintain private coverage valid in Andorra for illness and incapacity for yourself and any dependents. Minors and people over 60 are generally asked for illness coverage.
- You can provide criminal-record certificates and complete the medical review.
The applicant must also fit the regulatory quota. The official checklist requires criminal-record certificates from the country of origin, country of nationality and countries of residence; civil-status records; housing; registration with the local Comú; and apostille or legalization of foreign official records.
What This Route Allows
This route can let you reside in Andorra while doing the location-independent work accepted by the economy ministry. The initial authorization is two years; the first renewal is two years, the second is three years, and later renewals are ten years, subject to continuing eligibility and any treaty exception. Registration with the Comú is required within one month after the authorization and must be documented within that period.
What This Route Is Not
This is not a local employment visa and not a general remote-worker category for anyone who can work from home. It does not guarantee entry merely because an employer is foreign. Andorra requires quota availability, favorable economy-ministry classification, proof of housing, sufficient means, private coverage, at least 90 days of principal and effective residence per calendar year, and the post-approval local registration.
Next Steps
- Document how your work is location-independent.
- Prepare contracts, employer letters, client agreements, or business records showing the remote setup.
- Confirm the economy-ministry classification step before filing the residence application.
- Arrange housing, proof of economic means, and private coverage in Andorra.
- Gather criminal-record certificates and civil-status records.
- Apostille or legalize foreign official documents and plan to register with the local Comú within one month after approval.
