Why applications on this route get refused
No indefinite-term employment contract
This authorization requires an indefinite-term (permanent) employment contract with a legally constituted company in Andorra, a fixed-term or informal arrangement doesn't meet this condition.
How to avoid it: Confirm with your employer that your contract is indefinite-term before you apply.
Not fitting within the immigration quota
New arrivals applying for this authorization must fit within Andorra's regulated immigration quota.
How to avoid it: Check the current quota situation with the Servei d'Immigració or your employer before applying.
Foreign official documents not apostilled or legalised
Every official document issued by a foreign authority must be presented either authenticated with the Hague Convention apostille or duly legalised.
How to avoid it: Get the Hague apostille (or the equivalent legalisation) on every foreign official document before you submit your application.
Missing the parish (Comú) registration deadline
You must register with the Comú of the parish where you live within 3 months of your authorization being granted, and prove that registration within the same deadline.
How to avoid it: Register with your parish's Comú as soon as your authorization is granted, well within the 3-month deadline.
