Why applications on this route get refused
Not meeting the minimum financial means requirement
Your proven financial means must reach at least 100% of Andorra's minimum wage (70% per minor in your household), falling short of this documented threshold is a basis for refusal.
How to avoid it: Gather your payslips, CASS statement, or bank solvency certificate and income declaration, and check the amounts clearly meet the published threshold before applying.
Health insurance that doesn't cover your whole stay
Your insurance must cover 100% of medical costs for your planned stay; if it doesn't, you must sign a declaration committing to renew it.
How to avoid it: Check your policy's coverage and end date match your planned stay, or sign the renewal declaration if it doesn't.
Not having studied and resided in Andorra only for your studies (renewal)
To renew this authorization, you must have studied and resided in Andorra only for the duration of your studies.
How to avoid it: Keep your study enrollment continuous and don't take on other, unauthorised activities while holding this authorization.
