Welcome once again to the WIT blog, your trusted advisory firm in Andorra. In this article, we will explain a fundamental aspect that makes Andorra an ideal place to live and do business: its high level of security. In addition, we will see how at WIT we can streamline your procedures and help you make the most of the advantages offered by this peaceful country.
Independence and Lasting Peace
Since its birth in 1278, Andorra has been a country of peace, having never suffered war. Despite not having its own army, it has managed to maintain enviable security and stability.
Among the Safest Countries in the World
Andorra consistently ranks as one of the most peaceful and safest countries in the world according to prestigious international rankings.
According to the Travel Risk Map prepared by International SOS and Ipsos Mori, two international risk analysis firms, the security risk in Andorra is classified as insignificant.
The data from the World Atlas of Knoema data, those from the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime and the annual report of Andorra’s Department of Statistics highlight in their statistics adjusted to the size of the population how violent crimes rarely occur in the country and petty crime is also quite limited.
The Principality has one of the lowest crime rates in Europe, and this tranquility extends to all aspects of life in Andorra, from safety in the streets to the protection of properties and businesses.
This reflects the atmosphere of stability and peace that exists in Andorra and is hard to find in other parts of the world.
Safety in Everyday Life
What makes Andorra even more special is the sense of security experienced in everyday life. Law enforcement bodies and strict laws for residents and tourists guarantee a swift and effective response in any situation. In addition, the country’s political and social stability contributes to a safe and predictable environment for families and businesses.
