Who can be reunited
The sponsor is an Andorran national or the holder of a residence and work authorisation living in Andorra. Eligible family members are the spouse or registered partner, minor children (including the spouse's children in the sponsor's custody), adult children under the sponsor's guardianship or protection, dependent ascendants aged at least 65 or retired, and other persons under legal guardianship where both parents have lost parental authority.
Documents
The application for non-working residents, passport, criminal record certificates and sworn statement, a recent photo, proof of accommodation, full health insurance for reunited ascendants, the sponsor's passport and census certificate (Andorrans) or immigration authorisation (foreigners), birth certificates issued within three months for children, custody documents where relevant, student certificates for children aged 18 to 25 in continuous study, proof of dependency for parents and the medical examination consent.
Required documents
Identity
- Passport and a 35 x 45 mm colour photo under six months old
Travel
- Proof of accommodation
Money
- Sponsor's income evidence
Family

Financial means
The sponsor shows means of at least 100% of the Andorran minimum wage, through the last three payslips and CASS statement or a bank certificate and sworn income statement. The household income must reach 100% of the minimum wage for each adult and 70% for each minor living in the home; the spouse's income counts only if the spouse expressly agrees.
The monthly minimum wage has been EUR 1,568.66 since 1 July 2026 (CASS circular), so a household of two adults and one child needs at least EUR 4,235.38 a month in total.
Fees
Delivery of a residence authorisation by family reunification costs EUR 22.61, whether the family member is authorised to reside without work or to reside and work; renewals also cost EUR 22.61. The application receipt is EUR 5.73.
How the application is handled
The Immigration Service of the Government of Andorra handles the file and receives the public Monday to Friday from 8:00 to 13:00, by appointment only; the general government line is +376 875 700. When the documents are presented, the Service gives you a date and time for the medical check at the Immigration Medical Service on the next working day, and you do not need to fast for it. If every requirement is met, the initial authorisation is issued the day after the medical check.
Andorra has no visa of its own, and the Government states that anyone who has stayed more than 90 days in any 180-day period in the Schengen area is not in a regular situation there and cannot obtain any Andorran immigration authorisation. Leaving for a few days to a non-Schengen country does not reset the count.
- Confirm the family relationship qualifies.
- Gather income, housing and civil status documents.
- Submit the B.1 application to the Immigration Service.
- Register with your comú after approval.
Validity
Reunification with an Andorran national gives the maximum duration of ten years. With a residence and work permit holder, the authorisation lasts one year, is renewed three times for two years and then for ten years after seven years.
For a renewal (procedure B.2) the family member must have lived in Andorra permanently and effectively, and files before the expiry date with the renewal form, passport, a recent photo, the current authorisation, health insurance covering 100 % of costs for the new period with a sworn statement of the sponsor's commitment, the sponsor's CASS points statement and a comú residence certificate.
