Summary
Andorra's standard residence-and-work authorization is for newcomers with an open-ended employment contract from a legally established Andorran employer. It authorizes the person to live and work in Andorra while the authorization is valid.
This is not a job-seeker route. The employer relationship is central, and the applicant must make Andorra their permanent and effective residence while working there.
Eligibility
You may be a fit if:
- You have a concrete job offer from an Andorran employer, or are close to one.
- The employment contract is open-ended.
- The employer is legally established in Andorra.
- You will live in Andorra as your real home.
- You can provide identity, civil-status, housing, criminal-record, qualification, medical, and employment documents.
The route is subject to the applicable immigration quota. Foreign official documents must be apostilled or legalized. The government checklist also asks for professional and salary conditions, qualifications, a medical review, and local registration after approval.
What This Route Allows
This route can let you live and work in Andorra for the Andorran employer and role tied to the authorization. The initial authorization is one year. It can then be renewed three times for two years each; after seven years, later renewals are normally ten years, subject to continued eligibility and treaty exceptions.
What This Route Is Not
This is not a job-search visa or an open work permit. The official route depends on a legally established Andorran employer, an indefinite employment contract, quota availability, and making Andorra your permanent and effective residence. An approval for one role should not be treated as unrestricted permission to change employer or occupation without following the applicable modification process.
Next Steps
- Secure the Andorran job offer first.
- Confirm the employer can support the immigration filing.
- Prepare your passport, civil-status records, criminal-record certificates, CV, qualifications, and housing proof.
- Complete the medical and immigration formalities required by the Andorran authorities.
- Keep records of residence and work in Andorra if citizenship or long-term status may matter later.
- Register with the Comú for the parish where you live within three months after the authorization and provide proof within that period.
