Active Residence Visa Andorra

About

Because of its cheap taxes, security and advantageous position, Andorra is among the most popular travel destinations. It is hardly unexpected that more and more people are relocating to small nations.

Any person starting a firm is eligible to apply for active residency in Andorra. The active residence programmes in Andorra are intended for independent contractors who own more than 20% of a publicly-traded company. The applicant may also be a member of the board of directors, the managing director, or one of the company's founders.

After incorporation and activation, directors and managers of an Andorran firm are eligible to apply for an active residence visa with the ability to work. Those who prefer to work for themselves and intend to stay in Andorra for a minimum of 183 days, excluding holidays and business excursions, may apply for an active work residency.

Eligibility

You are eligible for an active residence permit if,

  • You are a self-employed resident
  • You can be a reader, consultant, content creator, etc.
  • You have been living in the country as a passive resident.
