Begin Your New Life as an Expat in Albania

For much of the 20th century, Albania was one of the most isolated nations in Europe. However, since the fall of communism in the late 1980s, the country has opened its arms to the world, enjoying rapid advancements in trade, education and standards of living. With a beautiful and largely unspoiled natural landscape, including some of the best beaches in the region, tourism has become one of the key industries for the country, and Albanian hospitality is renowned as among the warmest in the world. Many expats are drawn to investment opportunities in this up-and-coming nation, or to major industries such as tourism, agriculture and mining. Most trade and business is centered around the capital of Tirana, although other cities such as Durrës and Vlorë are also increasingly attracting foreign interest. The overall picture of Albania is of a proud and resilient nation that wears its history on its sleeve, but is more than ready to step into the global spotlight. As such, expats looking to experience a new horizon in Europe with a distinct and diverse culture will find much to enjoy here.

InterNations is the largest global network for expatriates, with communities in 420 cities around the world. Meet fellow global minds in your city of residence or get to know local expatriates before you're moving or traveling abroad and never feel like a stranger. InterNations makes it easy for you to stay in touch with your expat friends, both online and offline, so you can grow your network of friends and contacts from all over the world. Whether they live in Thailand or Canada, InterNations allows you to be close to them even if they are miles away.

The Network for Like-Minded Expatriates in Albania

InterNations is a unique community of global expatriates who value the importance of our guiding principles of trust, polite behavior and respect across cultures. These principles form the essential components of our platform, and help to ensure that all our members can interact in a safe and secure environment, both online in our forums and when meeting face-to-face at our events. Don't hesitate to ask our members any questions you may have about living in Albania, from practical concerns such as property rights, taxation and road safety to social and recreational opportunities such as exploring the best of Albania's stunning beaches, joining a local sports team or taking a group Albanian class for beginners. InterNations also hosts regular events at some of Albania's most attractive venues, allowing you to network with fellow global travelers in a relaxed and informal environment.
