Residence permit in Andorra

Despite the fact that Andorra is not part of the EU, this state has concluded an agreement on free movement. This means that citizens of the European Union can enter the country and stay for 90 days without a visa.

Citizens of third countries for a long stay in Andorra must obtain a residence permit. The immigration system of the country provides for two types of residence:

• active residence (with the right to work);
• passive residency (enables foreign citizens to become a resident of the country for the duration of economic activity outside this jurisdiction).

It is difficult to understand the key aspects of Andorran legislation and go through the procedure for obtaining a residence permit on your own. Therefore, we recommend that you seek professional help from Crystal Tax.
