Residency in Andorra for Professionals with International Projection
Do you want to relocate your professional activity to one of the countries with the best tax frameworks in Europe? The residency for professionals with international projection in Andorra targets talents operating globally from the Principality. In this 2026 updated guide, we explain everything you need to know. You will easily learn how to get your self-employed residency and work permit, allowing you to operate in international markets from a secure and efficient environment.
1. Main Requirements for 2026
This type of active residency (self-employed) is ideal for digital nomads, consultants, and entrepreneurs who do not depend on the local Andorran market. To apply, you must meet these conditions:
- ✓ Operational base: The base of your activity must be physically located in Andorra.
- ✓ Employment limit: You can have a maximum of one person hired as an employee.
- ✓ International billing: At least 85% of the services provided must be used outside the Andorran territory.
- ✓ Physical presence: You must establish your effective residency in the country for a minimum of 90 days per year.
2. Economic Investment: The AFA Deposit
To ensure the viability of your stay, the Government of Andorra requires a non-remunerated deposit. You must pay this amount to the Andorran Financial Authority (AFA), which is fully refunded at the end of your residency if there are no outstanding debts:
| Concept | Amount (2026) |
|---|---|
| Main Applicant | €47,500 |
| Per dependent (family members) | €9,500 |

- ✓ Existing Activities: If you are already operating in another country, you must provide the income and expenses figure for the last financial year.
- ✓ Qualifications: A detailed Curriculum Vitae and certified copies of your academic degrees or certificates to guarantee your experience.
