Working in Albania

A work permit and residence permit combination is processed in 4 to 8 weeks via the Albanian consulate or e-Albania portal. Living expenses are very low — €300-450/month covers essentials for a single worker outside Tirana. Migrant-worker communities are still small; many employers provide structured onboarding and language coaching.
