Residence permit renewal in Andorra

Written from published rules on 27 August 2026. Not monitored for changes since. A starting point, not official advice — confirm anything that matters with Servei d'Immigració (Immigration Service). Rules here vary, so check carefully.

Renewing an Andorran residence permit involves submitting an application to the immigration authorities to prove continued fulfillment of residency requirements. The process generally requires verifying financial stability, proof of accommodation, and a clean criminal record.

Your timing

It is generally advised to initiate the renewal process at least 30 to 60 days before the current permit expires. This accounts for potential administrative processing times and the time required to gather updated certifications.

Start 60 days ahead

Early application helps avoid gaps in legal residency status and allows time for the procurement of required government-issued certificates.

The process

  1. 1Verify the specific requirements for the type of residence permit held, as requirements differ between active and passive residency.
  2. 2Obtain updated documentation, including a criminal record certificate and proof of health insurance coverage.
  3. 3Submit the renewal application and supporting documents to the Servei d'Immigració.
  4. 4Pay the applicable administrative fees as instructed by the immigration office.
  5. 5Attend any required appointments for biometric data updates or document verification if requested.
  6. 6Collect the renewed residence card once the application has been processed and approved.

What to bring

  • Valid passport
  • Current residence permit card
  • Proof of accommodation (e.g., rental contract or property deed)
  • Recent criminal record certificate from the country of origin and Andorra
  • Proof of medical insurance coverage
  • Proof of financial means or income, as specified by current residency category requirements

Fees vary based on the residency permit category; it is necessary to confirm the exact current amount directly with the Servei d'Immigració website or office.

What commonly goes wrong

  • Ensure all foreign documents are properly legalized or apostilled if required by Andorran authorities.
  • Maintain continuous health insurance coverage, as gaps can jeopardize the renewal application.
  • Verify if personal presence is required for the application submission or card collection, as policies may change.
