Amendments to the Application Procedures for the Unique Permit for Foreign Citizens

With the publication in the Official Gazette dated October 22, 2024, Joint Instruction No. 196, dated October 14, 2024, titled "On Cooperation Between the Structures of the Ministry of the Interior, the Ministry of Economy, Culture, and Innovation, and the State Information Service Regarding the Procedures for Issuing Residence Permits for Foreigners" has come into force.
According to the provisions of this instruction, the procedure for obtaining employment approval from the National Employment and Skills Agency (AKPA), the application for a type "D" visa, and the request for a unique residence permit can now be completed online through a single application on the e-portal Albania. This means that data will be processed simultaneously across three electronic systems: a) the e-Visa system; b) the Employment Services System; and c) the FER System.
The application is submitted using a unified form, allowing foreigners to provide the necessary information only once to confirm their work permit, obtain a visa, and ultimately receive the unique residence permit.
According to this instruction, the responsible structures of the local and central border and migration authority, the relevant criminal information units within the State Police, and the appropriate structures of the State Intelligence Service will participate in the evaluation process for issuing the Unique Permit or Residence Permit in special cases.

Special Residence Permit for Foreigners (Shareholder and Administrator of a Commercial Company) - Interpretation of the State Police Border and Migration Directorate

"Legale Albania" has extensive expertise in advising domestic and foreign commercial entities (in particular), and it consistently assists foreign citizens who work in the Republic of Albania with the procedures of residence permits. Many of them act as shareholders and administrators at the same time. According to Albanian immigration law, both kinds of foreign citizens enter Albania for employment purposes. However, the type of residence permit they apply for varies depending on their commitment and quality of work report, for which the law for foreigners frequently leaves room for different interpretations. For this reason, we have asked for an official interpretation of the law in force for determining their legal status and for this case, we have addressed the Department for Border and Migration in the State Police. The Border and Migration Directorate's response outlines the differences in treatment as follows: if a foreigner works as an administrator for a company but is not a shareholder, he is considered an employee of the company and is given a special permit. If a foreign citizen works as the administrator for a company but is also a shareholder in the company, he is considered to be self-employed in his company and is given a special permit as self-employed. The Administrator is able to run his business from anywhere in or outside the Republic of Albania, depending on where he is physically located. If the Administrator (foreigner), for good reasons, is unable to remain on the territory of RSH for up to 180 days, he must first notify DVKM of the reasons for departing Albania (Article 36, Law 79/2021 "On Foreigners"). If the foreigner, administrator, as employed or self-employed, wants to stay in Albania and needs a permit to do so, he must fulfill the requirements to be given a unique permit. The Legislation does not limit where a foreign citizen can stay when it comes to accommodation. It is sufficient to demonstrate that he has booked an acceptable accommodation for the entire duration of his stay, for which he is asking for the issuance of a unique permit. (VKM no. 858, dated 29.12.2021, Chapter III/B/3).

Amendments to the Law "On Promotion of Employment"

In Official Journal No. 105, dated 13.07.2023, Law No. 47/2023 "On some additions and changes to Law No. 15/2019 "On promoting employment", approved by the Assembly of the Republic of Albania on 22.06.2023. By means of this Law, the procedural gap regarding the payment of a monetary value for the account of the Social Employment Fund is also regulated, since it is already established that the Employer is obliged to pay a contribution of 100 percent of the salary every month for the account of the Social Employment Fund minimum nationwide, if it does not employ 1 person with disabilities for the first 25 employees of the enterprise and one additional person for every 50 other employees. The collection of the contribution paid by the employer will be monitored by the General Directorate of Taxes and any violation found in non-implementation of this obligation will be considered by the state inspectorate that covers the field of work as an administrative offense and will be punished with a fine according to provisions of the law on labor inspection. The Ministry of Finance is tasked with approving, in implementation of this law, the sub-legal act on the procedures and method of collecting the contribution for the Social Employment Fund, by 31.12.2023. This law enters into force 15 days after its publication in the Official Gazette.
