Employer documents · Electronic Visa Type D · work in Albania · subsequent Unique Permit / Leje Unike
Albania can be a practical destination for foreign candidates who are ready for warehouse, logistics, production, construction, hospitality or other available positions and want to apply on the basis of employer documents.
The process may include preparation of employment documents, submission of an application for an Electronic Visa Type D where required, legal entry into Albania and a subsequent application for a Unique Permit / Leje Unike, depending on the candidate’s citizenship, employment basis and current Albanian rules.

The Albanian visa application procedure can be completed through the official electronic system where applicable. The candidate submits the required information and documents online and follows the instructions provided within the application process.
Visa Type D is not the same as a TRC / residence permit. Entry authorization and residence/work authorization are separate legal stages and may involve different procedures and authorities.
