Why Us
We Understand How Things Work Here
Moving to Albania is about more than paperwork. It's about understanding how the country works, avoiding costly mistakes, and having someone on your side who's already been through the journey.
Founded by an Expat
Gateway to Albania was created by an Irish entrepreneur who made the move himself. Having successfully navigated the residency process and built a life here, we understand the questions, concerns, and challenges you'll face because we've experienced them first-hand.
Built on Local Relationships
Albania is a country where local knowledge and trusted relationships matter. Over the past year and a half, we've built a reliable network that helps us guide clients through the relocation process with greater clarity, confidence, and local insight.
Guidance Beyond Immigration
Our role doesn't end when your residency is approved. Whether you're deciding where to live, looking for property, or simply trying to understand everyday life in Albania, we're here to help you settle in with confidence.
Meet Taylor
Gateway to Albania was founded by Taylor Glass, a 25 year-old entrepreneur from Ireland who first moved to Albania in 2024 before making the decision to settle here permanently in January 2025. After successfully navigating the Albanian immigration process himself, Taylor experienced first-hand how difficult it can be to find clear, reliable information about relocating to a country where much of everyday life is built on local knowledge and relationships.
Taylor was only the second digital nomad to pass through his local immigration office and has built a rewarding life in Albania, along with the trusted local network needed to help clients navigate the immigration process as smoothly as possible.
As an already entrepreneur, Taylor knew that there was a huge cap in the market for an foreign expat like himself to help guide others like himself who wish to relocate to this beautiful country.
How It Works
Why More People Are Choosing Albania
From affordability and safety to a slower pace of life, Albania is quickly becoming one of Europe's most attractive countries for digital nomads, retirees, entrepreneurs, and remote workers.
Affordable Cost of Living
A single person can live comfortably in Albania on roughly €1,000–€3,000 per month, depending on lifestyle, location, and housing choices.
Safe, Welcoming Communities
Albania has a lower crime level than countries like the UK, Ireland, Italy, Greece, and France in Numbeo’s 2026 Europe crime rankings.
Growing Expat Community
You will not be the only foreigner making the move. Albania has a growing international community of remote workers, retirees, entrepreneurs, and long-term expats.
Beautiful, Unspoilt Nature
From Lake Ohrid and the Albanian Alps to the Riviera and mountain villages, Albania gives you serious natural beauty without feeling overdeveloped.
Ideal for Remote Work
Low living costs, strong mobile data, improving infrastructure, and a relaxed lifestyle make Albania a practical base for remote workers and online business owners.
A Gateway to Europe
Albania puts you in the heart of the Balkans, with easy access to Greece, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Kosovo, Italy, and wider Europe.
