Is it possible to extend the Andorra Working Holiday Visa?

Written by Volare | May 24, 2026

When planning your year in the Principality, a recurring doubt is whether there is any alternative to prolong this great experience. For all eligible nationalities (Germany, Canada, South Korea, Ireland, Iceland, Malta, Norway, and the United Kingdom), the official answer is negative. The Temporary Immigration Authorization is granted for a maximum period of 12 months and does not admit any type of extension under this same category.

A temporary exchange experience

The youth mobility program in Andorra is exclusively designed as a temporary cultural and labor exchange experience. Once the exact year of validity of your visa has ended, you must leave the Andorran territory.

However, if during your stay you find a long-term professional opportunity or decide to formally enroll to pursue a full degree within the outstanding local academic offer, it will be imperative that you process a different residence permit (such as work or studies) that justifies your new status, applying under the general immigration rules.

Strictly complying with the established deadlines and leaving the country on time ensures that you maintain an impeccable immigration record. This responsibility is fundamental after successfully culminating your stage generating income in high-demand seasons, knowing the rich culture of the Pyrenees, and taking advantage of the country's training opportunities.
