ANDORRA WORK PERMIT REQUIREMENTS

08 October 2003


Well here we are again, the winter approaching fast. Light dusting of snow this morning has made the village of Arinsal a little prettier and turned the quiet locals into frenzied maniacs talking about what sick stuff there gonna do when it "really" snows.

Important work permit news:
If you are heading to Andorra with the hope of doing a season then read on and act quickly (very quickly) or you will be royally stuffed!

All people working in Andorra MUST have a work permit. To obtain this work permit you MUST get a PNC CHECK from the police in the UK before you leave. This currently takes about 40 days & costs about 10 quid - go to your local police station to get the application form.

You need a CV and an accomodation contract

On top of that you will need a CV (just a basic one will do) and an accomodation contract from the agency when you find an apartment. Now this is where it gets tricky...

There is currently diddly squat to rent in Arinsal There are some hotel rooms available as stop gaps but the rental situation is dire. Some bars have accomodation reserved for their staff, but not many so check with employers first.

Sort it out asap
If you want a hassle free season (and not bed hopping for the wrong reasons) then you need to start making enquiries and sorting out the above mentioned points.

I know it sounds a bit gloomy but its always best to be well prepared in Andorra.
