Just over a decade ago, there were virtually no Serbian entrepreneurs in Andorra. In fact, Serbia wasn’t even listed as a country of origin in official records—only Yugoslavia appeared.
Since then, a small but thriving Serbian business community has emerged. These individuals have come not only from Serbia, but also from countries like Australia, Russia, and Switzerland. Many have established holding and trading companies in Andorra as extensions of their existing ventures—drawn by Europe’s most attractive tax regime (after Monaco) and a world-class banking sector.
Thanks to the country’s strong financial reputation, banking privacy, and high-end private banking services, many Serbs have chosen Andorra as their financial hub. Over the years, they’ve built a solid reputation among banks and local partners, paving the way for new Serbian residents and businesses to thrive.
Why Andorra Is an Ideal Choice for Serbian Entrepreneurs

Things to Keep in Mind:

Andorra is politically stable, but staying informed about local regulations is always recommended. - Infrastructure
While modern, Andorra’s infrastructure is limited due to its size and geography, with no airport or railway system.
Residency Options for Business People
Serbian citizens can apply for active or passive residency in Andorra. This can be achieved by:
- Opening a holding, branch, or representative office
- Launching a new business or aviation company
- Investing in the local economy or banking sector
It’s important to note that Andorra has annual immigration quotas due to its size. Demand for residency is high and often exceeds available spots, so it’s best to begin the process as early as possible.
