1. Main Requirements for 2026
This is a type of passive residency (without the right to work). Therefore, it is exclusively designed for the medical care and well-being of the foreign citizen. To apply for it, you must strictly meet these conditions:
- ✓ No labor activity: First, you cannot exercise any work or professional activity within the Andorran territory.
- ✓ Minimum physical presence: In addition, you must establish your main and effective residence in the Principality of Andorra for at least 90 days per calendar year.
- ✓ Demonstrable admission: The stay of these 90 days must be done while officially admitted to a private geriatric or care center.
- ✓ Immigration quota: Finally, your application must fall within the quota established by the Government.

2. Permit Period and Renewals
This system serves to ensure that the reason for the medical stay remains valid. The terms work on an annual basis to ensure the proper monitoring of the resident:
Initial Year
Annual Renewals
Both the initial authorization and the renewals are granted for extendable one-year periods. For each renewal, it will be strictly necessary to present the updated admission document from the geriatric or medical center.
