On 13 September, the Government of the Principality of Andorra approved<\/a> the new catalan Bill in Andorra<\/strong> that will seek to require the accreditation of a minimum level of the language at the time of renewal of the residence permit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As expected, the announcement of the new catalan Bill in Andorra has created great controversy among the residents of the Principality because, as announced by the Government, the bill would limit this need for basic knowledge of Catalan to people holding a residence and work permit<\/strong>. Residents who are self-employed, border workers, temporary workers, passive residence and other types of permits, such as those commonly held by athletes, content creators and streamers<\/a><\/strong> residing in the Principality, are therefore excluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Beyond the demand for Catalan for some residents, the bill has the challenge of replacing current regulations<\/strong>, the Law on the Regulation<\/a> of the Use of the Official Language, approved in December 1999, which has not undergone many amendments since its entry into force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
