About this visa & living in Andorra

Andorra's nomad-friendly residency is built for people who want low taxes, mountain living and proximity to Barcelona without the chaos of a big city. Personal income tax tops out at 10%, there's no wealth or inheritance tax, and the Pyrenees give you world-class skiing in winter and hiking in summer. The catch is a meaningful investment requirement and time spent in country, so it suits established remote workers and entrepreneurs more than backpackers.
