Residence Permit Application Procedure

1. The applicant must provide himself/herself with a residential address in the Principality.

2. The applicant must personally open a bank account in the Principality; this cannot normally be arranged by a third party.

3. A yellow form of application must be collected from the police Immigration Department. This form must be completed in Catalan and submitted together with the following documents (originals or notarized copies only):

a. Passport (photocopy).
b. Birth Certificate.
c. Marriage or Divorce Certificate.
d. Certificate of Good Conduct from the police in your country of origin.
e. Proof of income/pensions from bank or other institution.
f. Proof of an address in Andorra. Title Deed.
g. Two passport type photographs.
h. Proof of a Private Health Plan.

The application can take some time to process although a formal receipt is given on presentation of completed documentation. During this time applicants are advised to keep in touch with the immigration authorities, particularly before and after leaving Andorra for trips abroad.
