AndorraTalent and merit

Explore the five recorded questions, answers and sources for this pathway.

Official link

Which exceptional-talent, academic, scientific, artistic, technological, cultural or other profiles does the pathway target?

This is the research branch of Andorra's F immigration authorisation. It permits the holder to carry out research of a scientific or similar character and to reside in the country only while that research lasts. The profile is the researcher attached to a recognised establishment rather than an exceptional-talent or awards-based profile, which Andorra handles separately under D.1.3.

  • F — what the authorisation permits
    Autoritza a estudiar, fer pràctiques formatives, entrenaments esportius d'alt nivell o recerques de caràcter científic o similar i a residir al país únicament mentre durin els estudis, les pràctiques, els entrenaments o les recerques per als quals s’ha rebut aquesta autorització.
  • F — eligibility
    Vulgui residir al Principat per estudiar en un establiment d’ensenyament radicat al Principat d’Andorra i reconegut pel Govern, que imparteixi formacions destinades a obtenir titulacions oficials o formacions pròpies que tinguin el vistiplau del ministeri encarregat de l’educació, per fer pràctiques formatives, entrenaments esportius d'alt nivell o recerques de caràcter científic o similar.

What achievements, recognition, awards, publications, reputation or other evidence establishes the required level?

Recognition is documentary and institutional rather than reputational: documents establishing the exclusive condition of scientific or similar research must be provided, together with an academic enrolment document and the calendar of the planned research activities, and documents proving the content and duration of those activities.

Is an employer, nominator, recognised body, peer group or government endorsement required?

No nominator, peer panel or government endorsement is described. The anchor is the recognised teaching establishment located in Andorra and approved by the Government, and the documentary proof of the research activity's content, duration and calendar.

Can the holder change employer, work independently, establish a business or conduct other professional activity? What is the family position?

The authorisation allows the holder to carry out scientific or similar research and to reside in Andorra only while the research for which it was granted lasts, and documents must establish the exclusive condition of research. The official source does not state whether the holder may change employer, work independently or establish a business. On family, it requires the combined income to equal at least 100% of the Andorran minimum wage for each adult living in the same household and at least 70% for each minor; it does not state whether family members may accompany the holder.

What duration, renewal and accelerated or normal longer-term residence pathway is officially stated?
