How we follow the news

A news item is published only after we have read the official text: a law or decree in the BOPA, a Govern press release, a European Commission document. When information rests only on press reports, we say so. The permanent guides concerned are reviewed at the same time, and each news item ends with the list of its sources.

News items are written by the Andorre Fiscal editorial team (see who writes and checks our news), following our verification method. The texts cited are gathered on the page listing Andorra’s official sources. To be notified of new publications, subscribe to the news Atom feed.

The guides updated by these news items

Each reform is also incorporated into the permanent guides it changes: residency conditions, work permits, salaries, housing, property purchase, nationality, language and taxation.
