Work 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).

Renewing a work permit in Andorra involves submitting a formal application through the employer to the government. The process requires documentation proving the continuation of the employment relationship and valid residency requirements.

Your timing

It is generally recommended to initiate the renewal process at least 30 to 60 days before the current permit expires. This allows sufficient time for the employer to compile necessary documentation and accounts for potential administrative processing delays.

Start 45 days ahead

Administrative processing times can vary based on current office volume and the specific category of the work permit.

The process

  1. 1Verify the upcoming expiry date of the current residency and work permit with the employer.
  2. 2Collect updated documentation required by the Immigration Service, including proof of current employment status.
  3. 3Submit the renewal application forms, which must typically be supported or presented by the employer.
  4. 4Attend any required appointments or submit biometric data if requested by the authorities.
  5. 5Collect the renewed permit once the application has been approved and the document is ready for issuance.

What to bring

  • Valid passport
  • Current residency and work permit card
  • Employment contract or proof of ongoing employment
  • Certificate of criminal record (if required by updated regulations)
  • Proof of valid health insurance coverage

What commonly goes wrong

  • Incomplete application forms or missing supporting documentation can lead to significant processing delays.
  • Failure to maintain health insurance or social security contributions during the term of the permit can impact renewal eligibility.
  • Changes in the employment contract or company structure should be disclosed, as they may affect the permit category.
