Overview
The government of Andorra has approved new immigration quotas for residence permits and self-employment for the year 2025. These quotas reflect Andorra’s strategic approach to managing its foreign workforce and attracting skilled professionals while balancing local labor market demands.
The general immigration quota comprises a total of 125 authorizations, split into two categories:
- 25 permits were allocated to liberal professionals, targeting self-employed individuals who offered specialized services.
- 100 permits for other eligible applicants, covering general residence and work authorization needs.
Additionally, Andorra has introduced a work immigration quota of 100 permits explicitly designated for foreign nationals seeking work authorization without residence. These permits are vital for businesses looking to hire skilled foreign professionals and fill workforce gaps within the country’s growing economy.
Both quota systems will take immediate effect upon their publication in the Official Gazette of Andorra (BOPA), ensuring transparency and accessibility for applicants and businesses. This annual adjustment allows Andorra to regulate immigration levels while responding to economic and professional demands.
The newly announced quotas highlight Andorra’s focus on fostering a balanced immigration system that supports liberal professionals and general employment needs. By providing specific allocations for self-employment and non-resident work permits, Andorra continues to encourage skilled individuals and entrepreneurs to contribute to its economic growth.
Looking Ahead
The 2025 immigration quotas offer clear guidelines for professionals, employers, and self-employed individuals seeking opportunities in Andorra. Companies planning to hire foreign talent or liberal professionals aiming to establish themselves in Andorra should review the new quotas and act promptly to secure the necessary permits.
With immediate implementation upon publication, stakeholders should stay updated with official announcements in the BOPA and ensure timely compliance with the new regulations. As Andorra continues to refine its immigration policies, future adjustments may further align with the country’s economic priorities and labor market needs.
These quotas demonstrate Andorra’s commitment to maintaining a controlled yet flexible immigration system that promotes economic growth while accommodating skilled professionals and foreign workers.
