Residence by Investment Andorra

About

Andorra is not considered a part of the European Union but is bordering France and Spain. Despite its small size, it has maintained a well-mannered economy over time. It is considered among the top 30 countries in terms of GDP per capita.

Andorra, like most of the European countries, is considered favourable for investment. The appropriate taxes and other such factors can very easily lead to making an investment profitable. Though citizenship can be a bit difficult to secure, other than that, the visa is worth all the trouble.

The residency programme in Andorra requires a minimum investment of €400,000. Investments may be made in real estate or other regulated industries. Andorra, a tiny country in Europe, does not offer direct citizenship through investment. However, depending on the sort of residency you first earn, you can still move there and finally obtain full citizenship within 20 years or more.
