One of the most common questions among international buyers is whether it is possible to purchase a property in Andorra without being resident in the country. The answer is yes, although the process has some specific requirements that are worth knowing before you begin. <\/span>It is not a complex process, but it does require preparation<\/strong> <\/span>and, above all, knowing exactly which documents you need to gather and in what order the steps take place to avoid unnecessary delays.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Andorra<\/p>\n

Foreign investment authorisation: the first mandatory step<\/h2>\n

Any non-resident buyer who wishes to purchase a property in Andorra must first obtain a <\/span>foreign investment authorization<\/strong> <\/span>issued by the Ministeri de Finances of the Govern d\u2019Andorra. This requirement applies to both individuals and foreign companies and is essential in order to sign the deed before a notary. <\/p>\n

The application must be submitted before signing and requires identification documents for the buyer, information about the property to be purchased and, in some cases, proof of the origin of the funds. The decision timeframe is usually a few weeks, although it may vary. <\/p>\n

It is important to bear in mind that <\/span>this authorisation does not guarantee residency<\/strong> <\/span>in Andorra. They are two completely independent procedures. Buying a property does not automatically grant the right to reside in the country, although it can be a starting point to later begin the residency process if that is the buyer\u2019s intention. <\/p>\n

Required documentation and the notarial process<\/h2>\n

Once the authorisation has been obtained, the purchase process follows a clear sequence. It is customary to first sign a <\/span>deposit or reservation agreement<\/strong> <\/span>that sets the price, the conditions and the deadline for the final signing. This document is fully legally valid and commits both parties, so it should be reviewed carefully before signing. <\/p>\n

To sign before an Andorran notary, the non-resident buyer must provide a valid identity document or passport, the NIF or tax identification number from their country of origin, and evidence of the intended payment method. If the transaction is financed through a mortgage with an Andorran bank, the process includes some additional steps related to the valuation and loan approval. <\/p>\n

The Andorran notary verifies the legality of the transaction, checks that the foreign investment authorisation is in order, and executes the deed as a public instrument. After signing, the property is registered in the <\/span>Registre de la Propietat Immobili\u00e0ria<\/strong>, at which point the buyer acquires full legal title to the property.<\/p>\n

Associated costs and tax considerations<\/h2>\n

Beyond the property price, a non-resident buyer should anticipate a number of additional expenses that form part of the true cost of the transaction. The main one is the <\/span>Impost de Transmissions Patrimonials (ITP)<\/strong>, set at 4% of the deeded value, to which notarial fees and registration costs are added.<\/p>\n

Overall, these costs typically represent between 6% and 8% of the purchase price, a figure notably lower than what applies in neighbouring countries such as Spain or France. This difference is one of the factors that makes <\/span>Andorran taxation particularly attractive<\/strong> <\/span>for international buyers with a wealth-preservation mindset.<\/p>\n

If you are in the analysis phase and want to fully understand all the steps before committing to any transaction, exploring the selection of <\/span>properties in Andorra<\/a> <\/span>available properties is a good first step.
