IT-nomads represent the future and offer significant potential
to Albania. These young individuals either working for foreign
companies or as freelancers may see Albania as a beneficial place
to develop their activity. From July 2023 foreigners employed in
the information technology sector will have the opportunity to
enter Albania without the need of a visa or a unique permit.
A decision of the Council of Ministers specifies that they are
eligible to stay in the country for a maximum of one year, during
which they can apply online for a unique permit. The
government's decision aims at boosting the national economy by
means of supporting information technology industry.
As part of its initiative to attract more foreigners, the
government is extending facilities such as electronic visas for so
called "digital nomads" and the option to be exempt from
income tax for stays up to 12 months.
