MT Registration Procedures and Process
(for expatriates outside the EEA) in Andorra

Tourist registration in Andorra (MT plates) is an ideal solution for expatriates who are tax residents outside the European Union

MT Plates

How does MT plate registration work in Andorra?

Tourist registration in Andorra (MT plates) is an ideal solution for expatriates outside the European Union wishing to own a vehicle in Europe without facing the heavy tax and administrative constraints of standard registrations. This system allows you to drive freely throughout Europe while benefiting from a reduced VAT rate of 4.5% and an exemption from national taxes, such as the ecological penalty or weight tax.

Unlike standard registrations, the MT plate is exclusively reserved for non-European residents (tax residents outside the EEA), offering them a legal, flexible, and fiscally advantageous solution. The process is structured to be fast and simplified, with easy annual renewal.

Steps to register a vehicle in Andorra

Each step is optimized to ensure full compliance with Andorran and European requirements, and time savings for our clients.

01/ Project review and eligibility verification

  • Before initiating the procedure, a personalized analysis is conducted to ensure that the owner or prospective buyer and their vehicle meet the eligibility conditions. This step includes:

    • Validation of non-EU tax status.
    • Verification of vehicle documents (invoice, European Certificate of Conformity COC).
    • Presentation of costs (Andorran VAT at 4.5%, administrative fees).

02/ If purchase project: Vehicle purchase and customs clearance

  • Purchase of the vehicle from the garage or dealership (excluding VAT or with VAT advance refunded subsequently depending on the country of purchase).
  • Clearance through Andorran customs for payment of VAT at 4.5%.

03/ Registration and allocation of MT plates

      • Submission of the file to the Andorran government.
      • Technical inspection if necessary.
      • Obtaining and fitting of MT plates at an approved center.

Through this process, registration in Andorra remains one of the fastest and most advantageous solutions for expatriates wishing to drive freely throughout Europe with their vehicle.
