How long must the investment be maintained and what continuing ownership, investment or physical-presence conditions are important?

The investment must be permanent and effective; an applicant who has not yet made it must commit, when filing, to make it within six months and then provide, under the conditions set by regulation, the documents evidencing it. The holder must also commit to effective residence in Andorra for a minimum of 90 days per calendar year, hold housing in Andorra by ownership, rental or purchase steps to be completed within one year, and keep sickness, incapacity and old-age cover in force for the whole validity of the authorisation.

Which family members can be included where officially stated, and what broad residence/work rights result?

Dependants are recognised through the deposit, income and insurance conditions rather than a separate family route: each dependant who acquires resident status without gainful activity triggers an additional 12,000 euro deposit with the Andorran Financial Authority; the main holder's annual income must exceed 300% of the current annual minimum wage, plus 100% of that indicator for each dependant; and sickness, incapacity and old-age cover valid for Andorra is required for the applicant and the dependants of the applicant or of their spouse or stable partner, except minors and people over sixty, who need sickness cover only. Dependent children need a birth certificate, and children under 16 a vaccination book and a medical certificate. The official source does not define which relatives qualify as dependants or state their work rights.

What status is obtained, how is it renewed, what longer-term residence/citizenship direction is officially stated, and what happens to the investment when relevant?

The status obtained is a residence authorisation without gainful activity, applied for on form T2 G024. The initial authorisation is granted for two years, the first renewal for two years, the second renewal for three years and subsequent renewals for ten years each; nationals of states with a ratified convention with Andorra follow a different, separate procedure (D.2). The official source does not state a citizenship direction or what happens to the investment.
