Fancy living in the mountains for hiking, biking, or skiing, and with the significant bonus of some of the lowest tax rates in Europe? Andorra may be the perfect solution for you.

The Andorran parliament passed the decree (‘Decret’) that made a digital nomad visa possible in November 2023. There was little publicity about it on launch and the details the government have published are only available in Catalan.
