Andorra Family Reunification Residence

Andorra Residency
Pathway overview

At a glance

Andorra family reunification is for spouses, registered partners, children, and some dependent relatives of an Andorran citizen or qualifying resident. It generally requires proof of the family relationship, the sponsor's lawful status in Andorra, support, housing, and insurance.

Sponsor
An Andorran citizen or residence-and-work permit holder who lives in Andorra
Family relationship
Spouse or registered partner, eligible child, or dependent parent or grandparent aged 65 or retired; guardianship cases have separate rules
Household support
Income tied to the minimum wage, suitable housing, and health coverage for the joining family

Summary

Andorra's family reunification residence lets qualifying family members join an Andorran citizen or a foreign resident who holds residence-and-work authorization and lives in Andorra.

The strongest matches are spouses and registered partners. The route can also cover minor children, dependent adult children, dependent older parents, and some people under legal guardianship or similar protection.

Could this pathway work for you?

Eligibility

You may qualify if:

The current financial test uses the Andorran minimum wage. The sponsor must show resources at 100% of the minimum wage, and household income must reach at least a further 100% for each adult in the household and 70% for each minor. The government page explains which salary, CASS, bank and income records are accepted. A dependent parent or grandparent needs insurance covering 100% of medical and health costs.

An adult child aged 18–25 relying on student dependency must show uninterrupted qualifying study as the person's exclusive activity. A dependent ascendant must show insufficient independent means.

Start with the sponsor's status and the exact family category
  1. Confirm the sponsor Establish Andorran citizenship or qualifying residence-and-work authorization and residence in Andorra.
  2. Document the family ground Match marriage, partnership, child, dependency, or protection records to the applicable category.
  3. Support the household Calculate the minimum-wage-based resources and provide housing, health coverage, and personal documents.
  4. Complete the family residence process File the application and follow the required local registration steps after approval.

Different relatives have different age, custody, or dependency conditions. A family connection alone is not enough.

What This Route Allows

This route can let qualifying family members live in Andorra with an Andorran citizen or a foreign resident who has the right kind of residence-and-work authorization. Reunification with an Andorran citizen receives the maximum ten-year duration. With a residence-and-work sponsor, the initial authorization is one year, then normally three two-year renewals; after seven years, later renewals are normally ten years, subject to continuing eligibility and treaty exceptions.

What This Route Is Not

This is not based only on having relatives in Andorra. The sponsor's status must qualify, the relationship must fit one of the listed categories, and the household must meet the support and housing rules. It is not an automatic work authorization; the issued residence document and any separate work rules control. A dependent adult child or ascendant must prove dependency rather than rely on the relationship alone.

Next Steps

  1. Confirm your sponsor's exact Andorran status.
  2. Gather relationship records, such as marriage, registered partnership, birth, adoption, or guardianship documents.
  3. Prepare criminal-record certificates from the countries Andorra asks about.
  4. Confirm housing and health-coverage evidence before filing.
  5. Calculate the current minimum-wage-based household resources and gather salary/CASS or bank and income evidence.
  6. File through the Andorran immigration process for family reunification, apostilling or legalizing foreign official documents.
  7. Register with the local Comú within three months after approval and provide proof within the same period.
