The local legal context
Andorra’s investment rules changed through the 2025 and 2026 sustainable-growth legislation. A proposed company acquisition, establishment or property investment should therefore be checked against the current investor definitions, exemptions and administrative route. Do not assume that a historic capital threshold or a previous approval remains sufficient for a differently structured transaction.
Map the proposed activity, ownership, funding and location before treating company registration as permission to invest. Sector licensing, land access, screening and incentive eligibility may follow separate processes. Review how capital and profits can move, and what conditions continue after approval. Written assurances should be reconciled with the governing instrument and the authority actually empowered to grant them.

How Jurisiti can help

Corporate formation, investment approval, competition clearance, land access and operational licensing must each be assessed on their own terms.

Questions about your matter
How do I start a foreign investment & market entry enquiry in Andorra?
Identify the jurisdiction, the people involved, any existing proceeding or deadline, and the result you need. A short chronology and the key documents help define the proposed engagement before local professional arrangements are confirmed.
Can a cross-border matter involve more than one legal system?
Yes. Andorra may be one part of a wider matter involving another place of residence, contracting party, asset or forum. Applicable law, jurisdiction and enforcement should be assessed separately, using the relevant national and international rules.
Does this guide establish a lawyer-client relationship?
No. An enquiry or use of this guide does not establish an engagement. Conflicts, professional authority, scope, responsibilities and fees must be confirmed before work is undertaken.
