Andorra has historically had strict requirements for naturalization and obtaining citizenship, which primarily revolves around residency, language proficiency, integration, and demonstrating strong ties to the country. These requirements have typically focused on individuals who have resided in Andorra for an extended period and have actively contributed to the country’s economy and society.
Andora does not have a specific citizenship-by-investment program in place. If you are interested in exploring residency or investment opportunities in Andorra, it may be worth looking into the country’s residency programs, such as the “Passive Residency” or “Active Residency” options, which provide temporary residency permits based on specific criteria related to investment, employment, or entrepreneurship.
If you are interested in exploring residency or investment opportunities in Andorra, it may be worth looking into the country’s residency programs, such as the “Passive Residency” or “Active Residency” options, which provide temporary residency permits based on specific criteria related to investment, employment, or entrepreneurship. These programs may eventually lead to the possibility of applying for citizenship through naturalization after meeting the residency and integration requirements.
The Passive Residency program allows individuals to obtain temporary residency in Andorra by making a significant financial investment in the country. The investment requirements may vary, but they typically involve purchasing real estate or making a substantial deposit in an Andorran bank. This residency program allows individuals to reside in Andorra without engaging in economic activities within the country.
Here’s an overview of the investment thresholds for the Andorran Passive Residency program:
The Active Residency program is designed for individuals who plan to work, start a business, or make a significant economic contribution to Andorra. It requires individuals to establish a business, invest in an existing Andorran business, or secure a job offer from an Andorran employer. Successful applicants are granted temporary residency permits that may eventually lead to permanent residency and citizenship through naturalization.
The minimum investment in this case is 350,000 euros for the first applicant and an additional 50,000 euros for each dependent family member. The business must create employment opportunities in the country.
