Knowledge Base – QUESTRAVEL By Víctor Pizarro, Co-founder of QUESTRAVEL

Why Albania?

Over the last few years, Albania has quietly become a compelling base for digital nomads. Think Ionian and Adriatic beaches, quick hops to Greece, Italy, and Montenegro, and a very competitive cost of living. With the introduction of the Unique Permit (Leje Unike), Albania opened the door for remote professionals and freelancers who want to stay beyond the 90-day tourist window.

What is Albania’s “Digital Nomad Visa”?

While it’s not always branded as a “digital nomad visa,” the Unique Permit functions that way: it’s a residence/work authorization for foreign nationals who work remotely for companies or clients outside Albania—ideal for:

Freelancers offering digital services
Employees of foreign companies
Entrepreneurs with businesses registered outside Albania

Who regulates and processes it

Ministry of Interior (Mbrotja e Brendshme)
General Directorate of Citizenship & Migration (Drejtoria e Përgjithshme e Shërbimeve të Shtetësisë dhe Migracionit)

Legal basis

Grounded in Law on Foreigners No. 79/2021, which governs residence/work permits, including the “Unique Permit” framework relevant to remote workers.

Duration & renewals

Initial validity: 1 year
Renewal: yearly, up to 5 consecutive years
After 5 years: you may be eligible to apply for permanent residence
