Legal immigration and residency
Permanent residency: Foreigners can apply for indefinite residency and work rights after five years of continuous legal residence, according to NDTV.
Visa policy: The policy is similar to the Schengen Area, granting 90-day visa-free entry to citizens of many countries, including some that also have visa-free entry to the Schengen area, notes Wikipedia.
Visa requirements: Citizens of countries not on the visa-exempt list must get a visa from an Albanian embassy or consulate, or through an electronic visa, reports Wikipedia and albania-evisa.org.
Irregular migration
Increased irregular arrivals: Albania has seen a significant increase in irregular migrants, mostly from Greece, who often use the country as a transit point to other EU countries, says the Global Detention Project.
Nationality of migrants: The most common nationalities of apprehended migrants in 2020 were Syrian, Afghan, Moroccan, and Iraqi, according to the Global Detention Project.
Reception capacity: The capacity for migrant reception is limited, and a key national centre has been in poor condition for years, notes the Global Detention Project.
