description Migration has been an essential part of Albania’s history and still is to the present day, though it has changed both in size and nature since the fall of Communism. Since the introduction of reforms, the Albanian migration picture has evolved. Albania has opened itself up much more to migrants, though the relative number of immigrants remains low. This opening has included changes in the legislative framework governing immigration and a closer resemblance between Albanian legislation and international conventions governing individual rights and State obligations in the field of migration. Albania has transposed all EU directives relating to immigration and asylum into its national legal system and participates in the negotiations on new migration and asylum measures at the regional level. Albania has especially changed its legislation to improve its alignment with the standards of the EU necessary for its eventual accession. This is a desk-research, which provides an overview of rules and procedures for the residence of foreigners in the Republic of Albania. The objective is to trace the main institutional and legal procedures applicable to foreign citizens who seek to stay in Albania. This paper also highlights some of the challenges in the application, interpretation and development of immigration rules currently present in the Republic of Albania.
