Am an Andorran resident for a long time, I was able to get a Matricula Temporal plate,for a new car, AFTER I got my Residence Permit in this country, I think you cannot get this Andorran registration plate, if you are passing through, or not -resident in this country. The low taxes here on vehicles would be too attractive for foreigners, and know that the Principality is not a member of the European Community .....
