Digital Nomad & Residency - Andorra

Andorra's 'Residència per a nòmada digital' was created by Llei 42/2022 and operational since 17 June 2023. Applicants must work exclusively for clients/entities outside Andorra using telecommunications; the Ministry of Economy exercises discretionary (subjective) approval over each application.

Decret 124/2025 (2 April 2025) sets a quota of 50 authorisations for digital nomads and 50 for participants in the government's entrepreneurship programme, for a combined ceiling of 100. If the digital nomad sub-quota is exhausted, applicants may still be considered provided the combined total of 100 is not exceeded.

Applicants must demonstrate a minimum monthly income of €3,858 (300% of the Andorran minimum wage), rising to approximately €5,000–5,500/month for a family of three. Minimum physical presence is 90 days per calendar year — significantly less than the 183-day standard for active residents.

Digital nomad permit holders are exempt from the €50,000 non-refundable deposit to the Andorran Financial Authority (AFA) and from forming an Andorran company. Andorran social-security contributions are not required, but holders must maintain private health and disability insurance valid in Andorra.

The initial permit is valid for 2 years, renewable for successive 2-year periods (then 3-year, then 10-year) subject to demonstrating continued compliance. Since Llei 6/2024 (Language Law), first renewal requires Catalan language proficiency at level A1 and second renewal at level A2.

A separate 'Residència sense treball' (passive/non-working residency) requires a minimum investment of €1,000,000 in Andorran assets (reduced to €400,000 in the government housing fund) as of January 2026, and at least 90 days' presence per year. It permits living in Andorra without engaging in local economic activity, functioning as a de facto residency-by-investment route.
