Taxes
Andorra sits in our zero or very low tax tier: little to no personal income tax. The tier applies to every city here, and couples who cap tax below it will not see these cities in their results.

Residency and visas
Possible, with conditions. Andorra's realistic long-term routes are passive (investor) residency, which now requires a large permanent Andorran investment plus proof of sufficient income, or active residency by setting up a local business or taking local employment.
