A.1 — Employment Residence & Work Permit (Residència i Treball per Compte Aliè)

The Employment Residence & Work Permit, known in Catalan as 'Residència i Treball per Compte Aliè', is a comprehensive authorization designed for foreign nationals who have secured employment with an Andorran company. This permit allows individuals to live and work legally within the Principality, provided they meet specific financial and administrative criteria. It is a structured pathway for professionals seeking to contribute to the Andorran labor market while enjoying the benefits of residency, including access to the national healthcare system and the country's favorable tax environment. The process is strictly regulated to ensure that the employment aligns with local economic needs and quota systems.

Applicants for this permit must demonstrate significant financial stability, requiring a minimum annual income of 49,546 EUR and proof of at least 50,000 EUR in savings. Beyond these financial thresholds, candidates must undergo a medical examination by the Andorran Immigration Department, provide a clean criminal record certificate, and secure a permanent domicile within the country. The permit requires the holder to maintain continuous and effective residence in Andorra, and it is subject to renewal processes that evolve based on the duration of stay, ultimately leading to long-term residency rights for those who maintain compliance with Andorran immigration laws.
