Moving from Denmark to Andorra

Below are some quick facts about Andorra:

Andorra is not part of the European Union. However, it uses the Euro as its currency and has a good relationship with the EU. As a result, the country is treated as an EU member when trading manufactured goods, as it will not be charged any tariffs as it does for non-EUs.

You can get a place to live by either buying or renting a property. Buying a house is a good choice if you stay in the country permanently or for a long time.

If you are moving from Denmark to Andorra due to a job offer, you can plan on getting a place to live using how far from work you want. The country is so tiny that you might not stay in the city where you work.

Renting a house is also good if you stay short or want to find your feet in a new country before worrying about buying a home. It also helps you avoid getting a house in a place you don't like. All the country's cities can be great locations for you, depending on what and where you want.

The cost of living in Andorra is quite affordable compared to the surrounding European countries. Given the country's situation, you should save about 30% of your monthly income. The low tax payable by a resident also contributes to the low cost of living in Andorra.

Also, you and your family can live comfortably with your basic needs met with a decent income. Food and other necessities are affordable, making it easy for expats to survive in the new country.

Andorra is one of the safest countries in the world. It is expected to be concerned about your safety when entering the country. For the past few years, the government has not recorded any cases of violent crimes. Hence, if you misplace any of your items, there is a high chance you will recover them.

It is also safe to live in because of the border rules and checks. Everyone is appropriately checked to ensure they are not with illegal materials when entering the country. Although it is impossible to say crime will never happen, the odds are reduced because of the different measures in place.

Opening a bank account as soon as you enter the country is essential to receive money from your employer and clients. With a bank account in Andorra, you will have access to your money in Euros, the country's official currency. Another benefit is that your money will not be subjected to taxes.

You will need a work permit if you are coming into the country due to a job offer. You must do it yourself if your employer still needs to apply for one. To apply, you will need to provide a copy of the following:

• Housing status certificate
• Photograph
• Cv
• Passport photograph
• Marital status certificate (for married ex-pats)

Also, you must apply for residency as an expat in Andorra as soon as you enter the country. Before you move from Denmark, you should decide if you want to apply for passive or active residence.

• Passive Residency

The passive or administrative residence is for people who want to stay in the country for at most three months and invest about €600,000 in Andorran assets. If the permit is for your business only, you must have €50,000 and your company.

• Active Residency

On the other hand, an active residence permit requires you to spend more than 183 days in a year in the country. This type of permit shows you are very interested in staying in the country.

To choose the type of residency that will best suit you, consider the exit tax you will pay in the country you are staying in. Also, consider whether you are moving alone or with your relatives and family.
