Hi Dany! I wanted to inform you that Albania DOES HAVE A DIGITAL NOMAD VISA. You can apply for what is called a Unique Permit. The Unique Permit allows remote workers to live in Albania for up to a year, with an option to request an extension for the second year. After the second year, they can extend it for five more years. After that, they can apply for permanent residency.

Hope this was helpful. Great video!😁

I really hope Starbuck’s doesn’t come into Albania with their overpriced coffee and ruin the local coffee culture and the local’s businesses. The world doesn’t need more Starbucks.

I've been in Albania last year 2022 I was alone so I rented a car and I start roaming from Tirana to Vlore for about 4 days after that Saranda and Ksamil and the blue eye spending one week over there it was amazing.. then I went to Berat and Gjirokaster spending two days in each one exploring.. then I returned to Tirana to change the car with 4x4 and head to Shkoder which is a small city in the north of Albania to start my trip to Theth and Valbona ( villages ) in the Alps of Albania as they say.. spending another week in the idyllic fairy tale villages. and to have the perfect closure to my trip i went to the small city of Pogradec to spend two days at the small nice beach of lake Orhid which is divided between Albania and North Macedonia. believe me guys that was the trip of a life time. So thank you Dany for the valuable information and inspirations which started this trip in the first place and could lead to a better one.

Albania is one of the best countries that I have ever been to, the people have hearts of pure gold and the place is beautiful. I’m going again next month and cannot wait ♥️

Small history correction: Ottomans occupied Albania between 14-15 century. Most of the castles predate from 2000 to 3000 years and that was the Illyrian Epirote era. Than it was under the Roman and later Byzantine Empire for more than 8 centuries.

I checked out some statistics about tourism in Georgia and Albania and The numbers are significantly higher in Albania.Albania is reaching 9 millions foreign tourists this year.Yes, there are certain seasons that you will see less tourists but this happens in Croatia as well which is super touristic country.I've been in Croatia, in Zadar precisely, winter time and i must say you cannot see a single tourist on the streets. Albania is the same.

I think you should definitely consider to invest in Tirana, maybe a nice appartament because very soon they would be so expensive.A lot of italians, polaks and ukrainians are doing this in Albania.

This was a great video. When i saw 22 minutes i rolled my eyes but chock full of info

[tupisamba]

I was in Albania when I saw your Georgia video. Now I’m in Georgia watching your Albania video 😂. While I appreciate that Georgia is more developed- you’re right - I think I prefer Albania.

Nice to see you back in Albania Dany. I Always enjoy your videos .

Albania has beautiful nature, great for hiking and checking out the beaches but overall the roads are terrible, the driving is ruthless, the people are very cold in general and hospitality although extremely cheap also has unbelievably bad service. Most people are clueless. Don’t park your rental in the main towns or cities even if you are in a free parking spot, somehow you’ll end up with a ticket. This happens often. So overall, if you want beautiful beaches and a cheap holiday then go for it but be prepared for all those things.

[braveheart]

You are spot on with more hunger to make an effort at the start. they are taking tourist for granted in the usual holiday areas

I greet you. I watched your videos about Albania with great pleasure. I congratulate you for the work you have done. The videos have a lot of valuable information. The videos show a deeper description of Albania and are not just superficial.
You have become dear to the Albanians. Every Albanian who has seen your videos appreciates you. You will always be welcome in Albania.
You can do an experiment and ask for meetings with Albanians. See how many invitations you will have and how well they will receive you.
