Andorra Passive Residence Tax, Family, and Citizenship Planning

Andorra passive residence is often discussed together with tax planning, but the residence permit and tax residence analysis are not the same thing. The file should be built around a real Andorra life plan, not just a tax headline.

Tax

Tax residence depends on facts, presence, home, family, business interests, treaty positions, and domestic law. A person considering Andorra passive residence should review existing exit taxes, controlled-company rules, trust or foundation structures, securities portfolios, crypto assets, pension income, real-estate holdings, and source-country withholding before moving.

Family

Family planning should cover dependants, civil-status records, schooling, healthcare, housing size, insurance, and whether each person can meet residence expectations. The 2026 framework includes additional non-remunerated deposit amounts for dependants, so family size directly affects capital planning.

Work Restrictions

Residence without lucrative activity is not a local employment or operating-business route. Remote management, board roles, consulting, investment management, and work for non-Andorran entities should be reviewed before assuming they fit a passive-residence file.

Citizenship

Andorra citizenship is a separate long-term nationality question. Passive residence should not be framed as a short path to a passport. Residence continuity, integration, language, renunciation issues, and nationality law require separate review.
