We can guide you through this process ensuring your registration is submitted properly and follow-up to ensure you obtain the necessary residency status.
Your Loving Pets
Often overlooked by relocation companies, but pets most often form an integral part of a family structure and their needs also need to be catered for. Therefore, ensuring you have the proper legal ownership and medical certificates is important. Then of course knowing which pet grooming, pet sitting and veterinarian experts also is essential so that your pet enjoys its time too in the Andorra Republic.
Settling in Package

Daily Concierge
Even once you are settled in into your new accommodation, your children (if any) have started their new school and you are now slowly starting to get to know your way around the city, we can assist you with other items such as regular house cleaning, provide contacts for pre-qualified baby-sitters, /nannies, handymen or repairmen, book tickets for many of the culture events in Andorra Republic, places of interest worth visiting or even simply arrange for a private driver to collect or take you to the airport or train station.
Business Assistance
In case you wish to set up your own business while living here, we will assist you with establishing either a self-employed/sole trader licence (and explaining the accompanying legal & tax requirements) or in case you prefer a company structure, then we can assist you with the registration process. Equally, on the latter option, we can also recommend a reputable company formation specialist who provides “off the shelf” ready-made legal entities that already have the requisite registration process completed.
Daily Life Assistance
Once settled and living here you may find yourself facing a situation where you might benefit from further help and support, e.g. Andorra language lessons, planning a wedding / get married or even seeking to start a family (pregnancy) and therefore need legal and doctors advice. Alternatively, you may feel that the Andorra Republic is a place to make a mid to long-term property investment and therefore need some information on property costs and returns. These are all matters we have experience with and can support you in.
Departure Assistance
Even though you will have probably really enjoyed living in this wonderful country, there may come a time when you are required for work or simply for other personal reasons to move on to pastures new. There will, of course, be some connected “house-keeping” matters to attend to do before (or even after) departing that if not addressed can turn into annoying little problems following you on to your next location. Examples of such items are ensuring you have carried out the proper legal execution of any notice periods on you rental accommodation, reclaiming rental security deposits, de-registration of utilities, uncollected income tax monies, bank account closures etc.
What we have described above are many of the typical items that are important as can arise once relocating to a new place. At Simply Relocation, we leave it to you to decide what level of assistance you need. We are flexible and can be involved in as little or as deeply as you feel comfortable with or feel is appropriate. We see our role as a support and advice service, and only if and when called upon by the client. Not only that, but we do not see it as our role to interfere with how you might wish to organize your private life while living in the Andorra Republic. What we do assure you is complete confidentiality once you engage Simply Relocation to assist with any tasks that you feel you require support or guidance.
