Digital Nomad
Who it is for
The official page says this residence can be requested, under the legislation in force, by any newly arrived person whose work does not require a specific geographic location and who uses telecommunications and technology to carry it out, provided they fall within the quota set by regulation and establish main and effective residence in Andorra for at least 90 days per calendar year. The authorisation permits the holder to reside in Andorra for the period of validity of the authorisation. The page says the initial residence authorisation is granted for two years, the first renewal for two years, the second renewal for three years and later renewals for ten years, except for nationals of states that have signed and ratified an agreement with Andorra.
The 90-day residence commitment and insurance
The official page says the holder must establish main and effective residence in Andorra for at least 90 days per calendar year. The documents list includes a commitment to fix effective residence in Andorra for a minimum of 90 days per calendar year. The applicant and the people on whose behalf residence is requested must sign a commitment to fix their main and effective residence in Andorra for at least 90 days per calendar year and to keep the insurance contract in force. The page also requires health and incapacity insurance cover valid for Andorra for the applicant and their dependants for the whole period of residence; minors and people over sixty need health cover only.
Economy ministry resolution and housing
The page asks for a favourable resolution from the ministry responsible for the economy, so that the applicant is considered a person whose work does not require a specific geographic location and who uses telecommunications and technology, in accordance with regulation. It also asks for documentary proof that the applicant owns or rents a home or equivalent accommodation that meets the minimum habitability conditions required by regulation, or has started the procedures to buy a home in Andorra under the same conditions. Those procedures must be concluded within one year of submitting the residence application.
Financial means
The page asks the applicant to show sufficient financial means, in line with requirements set by regulation. These must allow the applicant and the people in their care, or in the care of their spouse or stable partner, to reside in Andorra for the whole period of residence.
Application form and identity documents
The page lists a duly completed application for a residence authorisation without work. It also lists the original and a photocopy of a valid passport. Nationals of European Union and European Economic Area member states may instead provide the original and a photocopy of their valid national identity document. One recent colour photograph of 35 x 45 mm is listed, taken less than 6 months before the application is submitted, with the face fully visible and the head uncovered. The list also includes an authorisation to submit and/or collect documentation.
Civil status, criminal record and medical documents
The page lists a document proving civil status. For a stable partnership, it names an official certificate issued by the Andorran Civil Registry. It also lists a sworn declaration concerning criminal records and a criminal record certificate from the country of origin, the country of nationality and the countries of residence. Medical review information and consent to medical tests form part of the documentation to be submitted.
Comú registration and foreign documents
The documents list includes a comú registration record and a certificate from the comú issued within the month following the grant of the authorisation. The page also says registration with the comú of the parish of residence is required within a maximum of 1 month from the date the immigration authorisation is granted, and that this registration must be justified within the same period. All official documents issued by authorities of foreign states must be presented either authenticated with the Hague Convention apostille or duly legalised.
