TIRANA, Oct. 14/ATA/ The Law on Foreign Nationals enters into force after the Parliament rejected the President’s decree for his return with 76 votes.

“The law aims to attract more foreign nationals, who want to visit the country, work or live longer in Albania, improving the rights of foreigners in Albania according to international principles, guaranteeing ease in procedures and giving them better opportunities for information and access to services,” Ministry said.
“All foreign nationals visiting the country, working or living here are an added value to the economy as they contribute and spend their money here, so under the principles of globalization and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, the goal is to provide open but secure borders,” the Ministry of Interior said.
