Securing Premium Residency & Global Mobility
Two pathways into the Principality under the post-Omnibus framework, each managed end-to-end by a dedicated senior partner.
Residency in Andorra is earned, and therein lies its prestige.
Andorra offers no citizenship by investment; naturalization requires twenty years of residency. The Principality has deliberately positioned itself as a highly exclusive jurisdiction reserved for true global citizens, and Andorran residency itself is the asset. You never face the Govern d’Andorra alone: a senior partner carries every dossier from first filing to final permit.
Passive or active.
Both mastered.
- €1,000,000 permanently and effectively invested in eligible Andorran assets, or
- €400,000 when invested, directly or indirectly, in the Housing Fund (Fons d’Habitatge)
- €50,000 entry contribution + €12,000 per dependant, your exclusive entry premium into one of Europe’s safest, most tax-efficient societies; non-refundable unless the initial immigration authorisation is refused
- 90 days annual physical presence, the ultimate flexible European basecamp
- 160 immigration quotas set for 2026, the government’s annual cap on new passive residency approvals
- Andorran company formation with a shareholding of more than 34%
- 6 months from reservation to evidence the requirements
- €50,000 entry contribution to the AFA, waived for qualifying digital-economy and innovation projects
- 183 days annual presence, full leverage of the 10% corporate framework
Passive Residency
Securing Premium Residency Rights & Global Mobility, without gainful activity
Passive residency is the pathway designed for those who wish to establish their base in Andorra without carrying on any gainful activity there. It rests on a permanent and effective investment in Andorran assets, an entry contribution to the Andorran Financial Authority (AFA) and a minimum physical presence of 90 days a year.
A permanent and effective investment in Andorran assets
The principal applicant must invest, permanently and effectively, a minimum of one million euros (€1,000,000) in one or more of the following asset classes:
- a)Real estate located within the territory of the Principality of Andorra.
- b)Shareholdings in the share capital or equity of companies resident in the Principality of Andorra.
- c)Debt or financial instruments issued by entities resident in the Principality, together with collective investment funds governed by Andorran law, for a maximum of 36 months. Once that period has elapsed, the amount invested must be redirected into another class of Andorran asset for the investment to continue to qualify.
- d)Debt instruments issued by any public administration of the Principality of Andorra.
- e)Life assurance products contracted with entities resident in the Principality of Andorra.
- f)Non-interest-bearing deposits with the Andorran Financial Authority.
The Housing Fund and property-based investment
An entry premium to a selective, quota-limited residency regime
The principal applicant makes a payment in favour of the Andorran Financial Authority (AFA), non-refundable unless the initial immigration authorisation is refused. Far from being an expense, it is the entry premium to a selective residency regime of limited quota.
Six months to bring the investment to completion
- ApplicationOn submitting the application, the principal applicant declares a commitment to make the investment in Andorran assets effective.
- Execution: up to 6 monthsThe investment must be completed within a maximum period of six months.
- Exceptional extension: a further 6 monthsAvailable only where it is shown that the investment could not be completed owing to force majeure or the fault of a third party.
- Documentary evidenceOnce the period has elapsed, the resident must provide the documents evidencing the investment; failing this, the residency will be annulled.
Andorran residency is a right of residence; it is not a route to citizenship, which requires twenty years of residency. The granting of investment-based residency is subject to the Government’s annual quota system.
Complete Transparency & Single-Point Coordination
A senior team coordinates every phase with your family office and advisers: structuring the investment across the eligible asset classes, due diligence and regulatory compliance, liaison with the Principality’s financial institutions, and oversight of the application through to the granting of residency. A dedicated senior consultant, available 24/7, is your single point of contact.
Active Residency on Own Account
Securing Premium Residency Rights & Global Mobility through an Andorran company
Active residency on one’s own account (Compte Propi) is the pathway for entrepreneurs and founders who establish and run a company in the Principality. It combines the incorporation of an Andorran company, in which the applicant holds more than 34%, with effective management of its activity and residence in the country.
Reservation of the authorisation and three requirements within six months
Where quota is available, the applicant reserves the authorisation and has six months to evidence the requirements below. Once that period has elapsed, the authorisation lapses.
- i.Having obtained the relevant foreign-investment authorisation to incorporate an Andorran company in which the applicant holds a shareholding of more than 34%, and having lawfully incorporated that company.
- ii.Holding office on the company’s governing body and, in addition, exercising an effective management function and control over the conduct of its business.
- iii.Making a non-refundable payment of €50,000 in favour of the Andorran Financial Authority (AFA) at the very moment the immigration authorisation application is submitted. It is refundable only if the initial immigration authorisation is refused.
This contribution is best understood as the entry premium to a quota-limited residency regime, not as an expense.
Exemption from the contribution for digital-economy and innovation projects
Companies carrying out a business project intended to promote the digital economy, entrepreneurship or innovation in the Principality are exempt from the non-refundable €50,000 payment, provided the project is a business activity of high technological added value and has received a prior favourable resolution from the Ministry of Economy.
RelocAnd drafts and presents the business plan to the Ministry of Economy in order to secure this exemption.
A demonstrable business activity
Within a maximum of three months, the company must evidence that it holds a registered trade. At the time of renewal of the authorisation, that activity is demonstrated through the income generated by the company and by the trade it holds.
To renew the permit, active residents must demonstrate A1/A2 Catalan. RelocAnd approaches this as an opportunity for cultural immersion and places private tutors at your disposal within its concierge service.
Waiting periods before a new application
The regulations impose a waiting period of at least twelve months before a new own-account residence and work authorisation may be applied for or obtained, in the following circumstances:
