What medical insurance does the Andorra Working Holiday Visa require?

Written by Volare | May 24, 2026

When planning your trip to the Principality, guaranteeing your health coverage is one of the most critical steps for your file to be approved. Below, we detail the consular requirements regarding the health policy for all eligible nationalities: Germany, Canada, South Korea, Ireland, Iceland, Malta, Norway, and the United Kingdom.

1. Initial requirements to apply

To process your Temporary Immigration Authorization, it is strictly mandatory to present an international medical insurance policy at the time of submitting your application. This coverage must guarantee a minimum capital of 30,000 EUR and must explicitly include the expenses of medical repatriation or repatriation of mortal remains.

Having this policy when applying guarantees your immediate protection against any health emergency from the moment you arrive. This requirement is fundamental for the authorities, as it ensures that you will not represent an economic burden for the public system while you settle in the territory.

2. Transition to mandatory local coverage

A particularity of Andorran legislation is the update of your health status once you integrate into their society. After completing 4 months of uninterrupted residence in the country, or at the exact moment you start working formally with an employer, it is mandatory to change to a local medical insurance, registering with the Andorran Social Security Fund (CASS).

Transitioning to this local health coverage once inserted in the labor market is essential to comply with Andorran law and guarantee comprehensive protection. Being correctly insured in both stages is not only a legal obligation, but your best support to enjoy the high season without worries, explore the nature of the Pyrenees, and take advantage of the outstanding local academic offer with total peace of mind, knowing that any medical eventuality is covered both at the beginning and during your extended stay.
