Albania
Why Albania?
A few key benefits make Albania attractive. One of the biggest advantages in this small Balkan country is its low cost of living: it's much less expensive than most parts of Europe, so you'll be able to stretch your money further and enjoy more amenities on a budget. It also has great natural beauty, boasting rolling hills and stunning beaches along the Adriatic Sea. For those looking for a place to work remotely or launch their own business, Albania offers plenty of opportunities. The country has recently become more open to foreign investment, making it easier for foreigners to fund startup companies and leverage several tax incentives.
You may find it difficult to communicate in English here, as most people speak Albanian or other local languages. The infrastructure is still developing, so while public transportation is available, the roads and other services may not be as efficient as in other European countries. Finally, bureaucracy can be a barrier for immigrants looking to move here permanently; navigating the system can take time and patience.
