Looking at a map of the Iberian Peninsula, Andorra looks like a small drop of land wedged uncomfortably in between the mighty shadows of France and Spain. But don’t be mistaken. There’s more to this mountain-laden microstate than first meets the eye.
With a landmass amounting to less than 500 km2, and just under 80,000 citizens, Andorra draws over 10 million tourists who come for sightseeing across the tiny state’s forests, hills, and valleys. The Andorran capital is Europe’s highest — a lucky pick for a nation of just under 500 km2.
As a result, Andorra is home to a strong tourism and hospitality industry that attracts a huge amount of expats to work in the nation’s ample hotels, restaurants, bars, and ski resorts.
Andorra is famous as the world’s only co-principality where sovereignty is shared between an ecclesiastical figure (the Bishop of Urgell) and an elected leader (the French President).
Among the millions of tourists and digital nomads that Andorra attracts, you’re likely to find a significant portion of the population open to remote work with years of experience working for international organizations.
Grow your team in Andorra with Remote
You can pay contractors now in Andorra with Remote. Note that we are busy building our own entity in Andorra to provide you with the best possible employment solutions for your employees, but our employer of record service is not yet live in this country.
To employ in Andorra, companies must own a local legal entity in the country or work with a global employment solution. Developing the processes required to manage payroll, benefits, taxes, and onboarding in countries like Andorra can get complicated fast, especially without localized expertise.
If you're looking to start hiring in a country like this, partnering with a global employment solution like Remote makes it easy for your company to employ workers quickly, cost-effectively, and in full compliance with all local legislation.
In the countries where we do offer our EOR services, Remote takes on the responsibility and legal risks of international employment so you can focus on hiring great talent and growing your business.
Risks of misclassification
Andorra, like many other countries, treats self-employed individuals or contractors and full-time employees differently. Misclassification of contractors in Andorra may lead to fines and penalties for the offending company.
Employing in Andorra
Provisions for employee protections and workers’ rights are spelled out in the Andorran Constitution of 1993 and the Labour Law of 2008, both of which guarantee protections against discrimination based on age, religion, gender expression, and race.

Minimum wage
The Andorran minimum wage is fixed at €6.25 hourly, €50 per day, or €1,083 per month.
