Andorra

If you mean to live here

A small country in the Pyrenees. To stay, you need a permit, a bank and a place that will stand up at Immigration. This site puts the Government’s letters into English.

What you are choosing

Andorra is a country, not a ski resort with a tax rumour attached. Catalan is official. The capital is a short drive from both borders. You live here under Andorran immigration law. The letters that matter are the Government’s: A.1, J.1, D.1, B.1, D.3, D.4.

A permit, not a vibe

The card is an immigration decision. It is not a mood and it is not a tax clearance.

Small, on purpose

Seven parishes. One public hospital. Three banking groups. You will see the same streets in January and in August.

Mountains, then paperwork

Ski valleys and high villages are close. So are Immigration, notaries and the Comú.

Read the live text

Fees and quotas move. Start with govern.ad and the BOPA, then talk to counsel.

The year

Winter

Grandvalira and Pal-Arinsal

Grandvalira and Pal-Arinsal sit next to the villages. You are not transferring two hours from a city airport. Roads still ice.

Summer

High paths

High paths, Sorteny, Comapedrosa, the Madriu valley. Shops stay open. The capital does not empty.

The week

Banks, schools and Immigration

Banks, schools and Immigration sit in the central valley. If you live higher up, you drive. That is a choice, not a flaw.
