300% of minimum wage, ~€4,706/month (+100% per dependent).

How this figure is set: A formula in law, so the amount moves when its base moves. The wording on the source is: 4706. Formula: 300% of Andorran monthly minimum wage (salari mínim €1,568.67/month from 1 July 2026 → €4,706/month, ~€56,472/yr); +100% of min wage per dependant per secondary sources. e-Tràmits only says 'mitjans econòmics suficients, d'acord amb els requisits que s'estableixin reglamentàriament'.

Legal basis: Llei 42/2022 de l'economia digital, l'emprenedoria i la innovació; Decret 11/2023 and Decret 2012/2023 (regulations) as cited on e-Tràmits GV001311. The 300% figure itself was only confirmed in secondary/advisory sources; govern.ad D.3 page was unreachable (DNS error) during audit.

Does this lead to permanent residence?

Indirect pathway. Renews 2+2+3yr then 10-yr permits; no separate PR status — citizenship at 20 yrs.

Govern d'Andorra's own e-tràmits.ad page for the digital nomad residency (GV001311) confirms the renewal cadence verbatim: 2 years, a 2-year renewal, a 3-year renewal, then successive 10-year renewals. Andorra has no distinct 'permanent residence' legal category — residence just keeps renewing; the real endpoint is naturalization, confirmed at 20 years of residence on govern.ad's nationality-law pages (residence need no longer be consecutive, but must be primary/permanent for the 5 years before applying). Both figures in the existing claim are explicitly stated on official government pages, not inferred.

What it costs to live there

$2,268 per person, per month. That is what one resident of Andorra spends in an average month with housing included — not what a newcomer renting at market rates will spend, which is higher, and furthest above it in the cheapest countries.

Cost of living confidence: high · checked 2026-09-20
UN Statistics Division, National Accounts Main Aggregates, reference year 2024: household consumption expenditure including NPISHs, current US$, divided by population and by twelve. The World Bank publishes no series for Andorra, so the UN's copy of the same measure stands in. Population: World Bank population (SP.POP.TOTL, 2025). This is what one resident spends in an average month with housing included, since national accounts count the imputed rent of owner-occupiers. It is an average over the whole population, not a visitor's budget, so a newly arrived remote worker renting at market rates will spend more - see the city figures for what that looks like.

Languages

  • Catalan official
  • Spanish widely spoken
  • French limited

Shares of the population from Unicode CLDR: official, then anything spoken by a quarter of the country, an eighth, or a fiftieth. It answers "will I be understood", not "how good is their English".

    Andorran e-tràmits page for the D.3 residència per a nòmada digital (e-tramits.ad, procedure GV001311), which lists the documents for a residence permit without work plus the digital nomad economic ruling. Some items are condensed from the page's own longer wording rather than quoted whole, which is why this is graded medium.
  3. Apply in this order — the ministry page above describes the permit, these are where it is submitted:
    1. Qualification as a digital nomad (GV000785) ↗Get the Ministry of Economy to rule that your work needs no fixed location. This comes first and the residence application cannot succeed without a favourable resolution.
    2. D.3 residence for a digital nomad (GV001311) ↗Apply for the residence itself. Two to four months is the usual wait, and within a month of the authorisation being granted you must register with the comú of the parish you live in.
    Portals checked 2026-09-12
    Both procedures are on the Govern d'Andorra's own Seu Electrònica, and they are two procedures rather than one: the Ministry of Economy qualifies you as a digital nomad (GV000785) before the D.3 residence (GV001311) can be granted. Checked 2026-09-12. The registration with the parish comú within a month of the authorisation is recorded here because it is a deadline, not a formality.
  4. Sort out where you will stay for the first stretch. Airlines check this at the desk and will not board you without it, whatever your visa says —what counts as proof of accommodation.
  5. Verify every figure on the official page before you spend money. Thresholds are set in local currency and move every year.
