Andorra Immigration Rules and Authority Research

DESTINATION PREPARATION

Preparation pathways for Andorra

These are narrow, versioned workflows for immigration to this country. A released pack does not establish eligibility or authorize filing.

Not available

No destination preparation pathway is available for Andorra.

You may still create a research-only matter and store private intake information. Wayfinder will not present official forms, document checklists, readiness, or filing steps as available for this destination until a pathway-specific pack is researched, tested, and approved.

Filing boundary

Andorra has no universal immigration or nationality filing channel and issues no tourist visa. Tourist status permits at most 90 days from entry during the following 365, with no work. Entry via France or Spain makes Schengen entry, transit, visa, and re-entry rules controlling. On 2026-07-14 the EU-Andorra border agreement was only initialled, not in force pending signature, ratification, and application; later visa, ETIAS, and EES treatment is not current law. EES became fully operational on 10 April 2026. Longer stays or work need the correct authorization. Each route has its own law, quota, actor, form, and personal steps; confirm current occupations, treaty priorities, wages, fees, and forms at filing. Company, investment, professional-practice, or Economy approval grants no immigration status. Law 2/2026 controls conflicting public copy. The passive page still says EUR 600,000 and refundable EUR 47,500/EUR 9,500; current law generally requires EUR 1,000,000, offers a EUR 400,000 Housing Fund branch, and makes EUR 50,000/EUR 12,000 payments final except after initial denial. An ordinary company self-employment applicant must own over 34%, hold a management-body role, and exercise effective direction and control. Its EUR 50,000 payment is generally final except after initial denial, but qualifying recognized entrepreneur projects and qualifying high-value technology, digital-economy, or innovation companies are exempt. Self-employment and passive applications filed before Law 2/2026 approval remain under prior law. H2 says six months but current law allows twelve. D4 repeats digital-nomad criteria although entrepreneur residence requires favorable program selection. Most reviewed procedures are appointment-based in-person filings; some preliminary Economy procedures use authenticated e-Tramits. H1 conflicts between email transmission and an unavailable-online, appointment-required notice, so confirm its channel. Forms and user portals are not public transactional APIs. Wayfinder must not email applicant data, automate portals, reuse credentials, reserve quota, collect government payment, or claim direct submission without documented official integration and route-specific authority. Law 8/2026, effective 4 June 2026, controls nationality over the stale Government page: marriage requires five uninterrupted years, not three; full adoption covers under 18, not under 14; the criminal bar is generally at least one year or two intentional offenses, not the published four-year summary; the 20-year route may be interrupted but requires principal and effective residence during the preceding five years. Confirm current procedure, personal declarations, prior-nationality-loss proof, language, and integration at filing. This release catalogs official starting points only; it activates no pathway, form pack, eligibility decision, monitoring, representative filing, payment, portal action, email transmission, or government submission.

Representative participation

Law 48/2014 reserves the title of advocate and core legal advice and administrative or judicial representation to practising members of the Andorran Bar. Concrete representation must be supported by a sufficient power or designation. Immigration form T2 G042 permits named authorized people to present and/or collect specified documents before the Immigration Department, requires identity documents for the applicant and authorized person, and requires a copy of the power when the presenter acts as a representative with power. That document-handling authority is not blanket authority to sign for the applicant or replace applicant-only acts. Route pages may permit a registered representative or enabled professional to request a procedure, but required applicant signatures and declarations, identity and original-document checks, the immigration medical examination, commune registration, and any directed personal attendance remain with the person concerned. For nationality, the current law and form Y2T002 provide representation only through the minor-capacity rules: a child under 16 acts through legal representatives, with consent and possible hearing from age 12, while a person aged 16 to 18 acts personally with representative authorization. An adult lawyer or other representative must not be described as able to sign the nationality declaration or prior-nationality-loss promise, replace the personal integration assessment, or fully file in the applicant's place without current nationality-service confirmation. Applicant or representative credentials must not be shared or automated.
