About Andorra Resident
A residency, tax and property practice built by Andorran lawyers and by the people who moved here themselves.
Andorra Resident handles residency, relocation and tax for people moving to the Principality — from the first question about which route applies, through company formation or investment, to the residence card and the years of renewals after it.
We started on the applicant’s side of the desk
Andorra Resident did not begin as a business plan. Several of us moved here ourselves, years apart, and each of us found the same thing: the country is far easier to live in than it is to move to. There was no single place to ask what the process actually involved — only a lawyer who answered the legal part, an accountant who answered the tax part, and an estate agent who answered neither.
After more than a decade of living here, we were still being asked the same questions — by friends, by their colleagues, by strangers who had been given our number. Which route applies to me? Is the €50,000 a deposit or a payment? Do I really have to live here? Will Andorra tax me, and will the country I am leaving let go? Can a foreigner buy property at all, and where should they buy it?
So we built the thing we had needed. Andorran lawyers — including counsel recognised in the Principality by Chambers and Partners — working alongside long-term residents who have queued at the immigration service, registered at a Comú and joined the CASS as applicants rather than as advisers. One team for the legal question, the tax question and the property question, because in practice they are one question asked three times.
Property is part of it for a concrete reason. Passive residency asks you to place €1,000,000 into Andorran assets, and for most people that starts with a home — so the property decision and the residency decision arrive together. We would rather help you choose well than watch a requirement get satisfied badly.
We are based in Andorra la Vella and work in English, Catalan, Spanish, French, Dutch and German. The team is made up of lawyers, advisers and long-term residents who have been through the process themselves — which is the reason we can tell you how it goes in practice and not only what the law says.
What we do
Four pieces of work, handled in one office and on one file. Most people need at least three of them, which is precisely why we do not separate them.
Active Residency
For people who will work or run a business from Andorra. We incorporate the company, handle the banking and the immigration file, and hold you to the parts that are easy to get wrong: more than 34% of the shares, the director’s role, and at least 183 days a year in the country.
Learn MorePassive Residency
For people who will not work locally. We structure the €1,000,000 commitment to Andorran assets, prepare the file, and are explicit about what the 90-day minimum does — and does not — do to where you are tax resident.
Learn MoreTax Guide
Andorran tax is the simple half: IRPF capped at 10%, IGI at 4.5%, no wealth or inheritance tax. Leaving your current system is the hard half, and that is the part we plan with you before anything is filed.
Learn MoreProperties
Property search and acquisition for incoming residents: the foreign investment authorisation a non-resident buyer needs, the real differences between the seven parishes, and how a purchase interacts with the residency file it is meant to support.
Learn MoreHow an application actually runs
A file typically takes three to four months. For the active route that breaks down into roughly four to six weeks to incorporate the company, the banking setup, and four to eight weeks for the immigration application itself. Along the way it touches the immigration service, your Comú, the CASS, a notary and — where property is involved — the foreign investment authorisation. We hold all of that rather than handing you a checklist.
How we work
Why the team matters here
An Andorran residency file passes through the immigration service, a Comú, the CASS and — for the active route — a notary and the foreign investment authorisation. There is no online portal that does this. Who handles your file, and whether they are known to those offices, changes how it goes.
How we work with you
You get one point of contact who stays with your file from the first assessment to the residence card. Legal, tax and property questions are handled in-house rather than passed to a third party, and we tell you when something is outside what we can advise on.
After the residence card
A residency does not end at the counter. Renewals come round, Catalan is required at renewal rather than at application, tax filings begin and CASS contributions continue. We stay on the file through those years instead of closing it once the card is issued.
What we will tell you
The €50,000 state contribution is not refundable. Passive residency at its 90-day minimum does not make you an Andorran tax resident. Catalan is required at renewal, not at application. These are the things people find out late, and we would rather you heard them in the first conversation than after committing.
