I'm sure you can ask them about the Albanian Digital Nomad Visa, I'm sure they will have the latest up-to-date info but I'm also sure they will figure it out if they don't. My friend Tahir has been a HUGE help to getting my residency permit (and he's helped my friends too) so I have to shout him out!
Disclaimer: This is just my experience living here and based on the people I talk to. I only speak the language a little bit so of course people who are fluent are having a different experience than I am. And I'm also a black American which makes my experience different as well.
If I didn't like living here, I would have left. I love living here at the moment, but I think people need a realistic approach when moving abroad so I hope this will help them a bit.
I have a lot more to say and I can do a part 2 if there are enough questions that people have.
My IG is deactivated now, but when I open it back up the username is @whereskevan
Take care! And enjoy the beautiful country of Albania!
Hi guys! I accidentally posted this video here! The video is on my other channel. You can find me on tiktok @whereskevan.
I almost never use this youtube channel. And you can subscribe to my other channel as well!
And I temporarily deleted my IG but I'll get it back in May. Same username as tiktok.
Hi I really appreciate this video, I will love to relocate to Albania 🇦🇱 but I will love to learn more from you if you don't mind, can I have your Tiktok account please
@@louisamacaulay2964Hi louisa, Have you moved yet?
I want to move to Albania,,,
😭 Im not on Tick Tok... Is it ok if we stay in touch via email? Going to hit you via your website. 🙏🏾
Thanks so much for this video, Kevan. I’ve been thinking of spending some time in Saranda more specifically and your video was really informative. I was actually a bit anxious about the LGBT piece, but from what I understood, it seems to be more of a don’t ask, don’t tell policy rather than I’ll beat you up if I suspect you may be of a “different persuasion.” Are street or bar fights common? Thanks! By the way, you’ve got a new subscriber. ❤
This dude is 100% spot on. I’m Albanian. I’ve lived in the Bronx since I was 10 years old. I moved back to Albania. 5 years ago. And 100% agree with this dude
Sweet.!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish I can VISIT Albania.
Hey bro is it difficult for Asians to date/marry Albanian girls? I've seen some of the most beautiful girls I've ever met in my life during a very short visit to Tirana & Berat. They were just like holding an average Android phone casually waiting for a bus or walking on the streets, no tattoos, no plastic surgeries, no stupid "luxury" bags and not looking entitled. Just down to earth girls that happen to be some of the most naturally beautiful women I've ever seen.
I did some research online and read that Albanian girls don't marry foreigners (more like Albanian parents don't want their daughters to marry foreigners) unless he's a rich white American sort of thing. I do live in a developed country, coming from a middle class family, having a decent job, but I'm not white and I actually grew up in Asia so most of my family connections/relationships were back there. And I don't speak any Albanian but I'm willing to learn if I marry/date an Albanian.
@@taichiwinchester1102yeah bro, it’s quite rare honestly. Especially from Albania proper. There are a lot of Albanians who live in for example the UK and their parents are more chill but like people from Albania proper want to be with other Albanians
@@taichiwinchester1102 Albania is a 3 rd world country and they poor.
@@taichiwinchester1102Albanians in America are quite strict with their girls. No sleepovers even at a younger age, and no dating, at least in their teens. At some point they would have to allow them to date as otherwise they would not get married. I don't know if they arrange their marriages here in the U.S. But they don't have to listen to their parents in the U.S. once they are out of the house. I think the older girls can go out in groups but Albanian parents do not want them to date one on one. They have to sneak around.
As an Albanian this is incredibly accurate.
Hi
I am planning to come to Albania and I will appreciate all the help I can get
@@lawrenceokpoechi9922 you can tell me things you need help or suggestions on.
Great video! Very informative. I am from Scandinavia and I love Albania and Tiranë. Have made friends there and really like it there. In June I'm gonna visit it for the 7th time. Hope to stay there for longer periods in a few years. 🙏🇦🇱👍🇧🇻🌞
ur albanian that migrated to scandinavia. Real scandinavians hate albania
Im very happy to see this comment cuz i always thinked that ppl from Scandinavia disliked albanians ❤
Thanks so much for this! I just found you! I am retiring to Albania next year and can't wait. This is one of the most informative videos I have seen so far!

Of course! I'm still here!
Love the video! Thanks, very informative.
Great video, thank you for your experiences!
Thanks for the honest review. I plan to visit Albania in the summer. I live in Croatia now, and exploring other places in the region with better residency policies.
Appreciate the way you speak and express yourself. Excellent humor, witty, informative. You seem very intelligent and well-rounded. Thanks for sharing.

Well done Kevan. Ran across you video and it was very educational! Thanks.

Are you ashamed of the homophobia and racism and lack of respect for laws?
@@Wawruto I think "ashamed" is a strong word since no one has control over other people. Only for themselves. With that being said I don't think there is a country that exist without racism of some sort and homophobia. It exists everywhere in different amounts.

Well you don’t have to be black to watch this video. I’m white British and I gained a great insight into living in Albania from Kevin here. Great video !
of course but as an albanian I hear a lot of black friends of mine who dont know much about albania, saying `oh I heard is dangerous and and not a friendly to black people` so I think of course this is you dont have to be black but as i have seen a lot of concern in being dangerous for black people this video does help alleviate those concerns.

Very well explain by you brother... Its nice way
Great video! Thank you
Hi Kevan just watched your video after a recent holiday to Tirana and Durres. I was only visiting for a week but your five years of observations were pretty close to mine too. I'm planning to return next year in the Spring if possible. You are quite the ambassador for the country as mostly your comments were positive and honest. I've just noticed that you have a part 2 video follow-up, and I cannot wait to watch that too. Great content but consider the harsh lightbulb, which is very distracting. Merry Christmas from Glasgow.
Thanks for the feedback!
As for the lighting I was at an airbnb on vacation
it is great to know in this world, there are still kind and generous people like Albanian. Hope to visit Albania one day.
Mr. K., This video is the absolute bomb! Thoughtful and comprehensive impressions and experiences shared by a long-term African-American resident living abroad are invaluable and greatly appreciated. Quick note: the glare from the hanging lightbulb behind you was a bit distracting, but I thoroughly enjoyed the video. Take care, and continue to enjoy yourself, wherever you may be! Thank you very much!
Thank you!
Hey man, great video, so glad you shared all of those experiences you’ve had over such a long time there! My wife and I and little child are going to be moving to Albania from the United States in the next six months or so, and we very much look forward to many of the things that you recommended and the experiences that you’ve had 🎉
would be interesting to hear the reason why you want to move to Albania, especially when you live in a great country like the US
@@shaclo1512 well for a few different reasons I grew up in Europe though I’m an American. I feel a lot more comfortable with a European lifestyle. Most of the American lifestyle, no matter where you go it’s going to be very suburban which means perfect houses and lawns, but no vibe or feeling of community whatsoever. Everybody drives in their car, long distances, and most people spend the vast majority of the time, working really hard to pay off student loans and healthcare debt, everything here is extremely expensive I’m talking 4-5 times more expensive than for example, Albania were the quality is essentially the same or less even because shipping routes are far longer suited to much larger country and more isolated so the quality and freshness of food is less than you would find in a place like Albania, for example I could go on and on.
@@travisross8704 wow, thanks for the answer. I understand your points, I live in Germany (parents are Albanian so I have a bit of connection to that part of Europe) and I think I know what you mean. Here in Germany I also feel like everything is much systematic, everything has its order, everyone follows the tiniest rules etc. But I really miss that easy going life what I experience when I'm in Albania. Good luck for you and your family.
just made part two!
@@shaclo1512 thank you! By the way I used to live in Regensburg Bavaria. I understand the “oppressive “ feeling one can get from living is such places at times. Of course there are also upsides to living in Germany too. Still love Regensburg!
This is excellent
Thank you
Great video! I laughed out loud at the "zoo of birds and ducks" comment. My wife and I have been living in different countries for the last 17 years. I found all of these comments could be said about many places, but I'm looking forward to spending more time in Albania.
Thanks for the super informative video. I will move to Albania by the middle of August 2023. Surely, I will contact Tahira👍
He's AWESOME! He's helped me and 2 of my other friends here get our 5-year residency in like 2-3 months. And its been a huge relief not having to worry about leaving for 3 months and coming back.
He's truly a gem.

I'm Albanian but left the country in 1991... have visited it since then. And to tell you the truth, I learned some things from your video
Great video, you are so real.
Thank you 🙏
great stuff man
One of the best videos I have seen on life in Albania. I truly loved this one. I am hoping for a long term visit to Albania this coming summer 2023. As a sistah, I truly appreciate your analysis of everything to be aware of.
Happy to help!

Thanks for the pros and cons. Gentrification is something I've observed since I left the states and started traveling abroad, specially in my homeland. I plan to visit Albania soon, but I won't be renting as I'll be bikepacking. Found a campsite in Tirana for I think 5-7 bucks a day. I plan to do a visa run every 3 months from Schengen to countries outside of it. Cheers
25:10 wow, you really hit the nail on the head with that one, bravo. That’s one of the reasons I want to move their, just lay low for a year and get away from it all
Nice video, I am Italian based in the UK and I see a lot of similarity with Italy style of living.
I travelled in 34 countries and albania is my top destination for summer in europe I did almost the whole coast from portugal to turkey

How is it being married to an Albanian? One wants to date and I’m from the Bahamas!
@@Kattcreate Gurl don't do it lol I would not recommend it unless this person has lived abroad (ideally born abroad) and has removed all misogynistic attitudes that they might have.
It's just like marrying a man with middle eastern values. Not trying to make stereotypes. But I've seen a lot of them be very possessive over their wives. But it depends if you want a progressive relationship or not. But I'd say no

My family is from Kosovo and we live in Germany (born and raised here), but I‘m thinking about moving to Albania. This was really helpful and very interesting, because even though I‘ve been to Albania many times, it was only for holidays 🫶
Good point, visiting a place and making a video about what it's like to live there is YT fluff and garbage. Thank you for making this.
From Florida black American, once I learned that albania has 3 beach vibe cities I was hooked...durres sarande and vlore...love how pedestrian friendly it is must be bc of cafe culture
3 beach vibes? The length of the country is a coastline. So there are beaches for days.
@@MrKevanHudson yea I figured that its just those seem the biggest most well known cities on coast
@@simplelife1987 I see. I will say those are the easiest to travel to with public transport.
Hey! This is super interesting thanks! I visited Albania in May and I'm going back to live there for a couple of months later this year :) You mentioned Spanish dancing, is this something that a lot of Albanians take part in? (Salsa, Bachata etc etc) I loved my time in latin America and it surprised me to hear that!
I was overwhelmed by just how kind Albanians were when I was there, do you have any tips for foreigners on how to make friends there? It will be my first time living abroad for a while and working so it's something that concerns me a bit as previously I met people in hostels.
Latin dance is very popular in Tirana on this street named block many latin nights. It's easy to make friends as he mentioned ppl love to get to know you and ask many questions and invite you for coffee on the regular 😅
@@ek11129 Are you ashamed of the homophobia and racism and lack of respect for laws?
@@Wawrutowhat lol
Lol , what you said about the night life is so true!
night life is so superficially ass here. I miss places where people actually danced
Excellent accurate video Kevan. Im Albanian American living in US since 1997. Worked in the police force in Albania and Massachusetts police as well. In 2017 and 2018 lived a brief period in Tirana my birthplace. Although as an albanian born I was judging things as a " foreigner" and I couldn't not agree more with you. I noticed kids play football until midnight in the playground and my US mind got under alert initially, than I reminded myself that I was in Albania where kids live in one of the safest country to be a child. We played football at the Universiteti (;Mother Tereza Plaza) everyday until 0200 in the morning until our parents came to get us.
As for racism:
1. Looks/steer its a common thing there and they steer a lot and everyone nevermind being a foreigner that look different and out of curiosity.
2. If someone yells at you any phrase in English, they don't do it to pick on you primarily but to impress other Albanians that they can speak English.
3. For what I have seen abroad Albanians appreciate friendship and are not racist people. Bronx NY is a tale of unbreakable friendships between albanians and african americans. In many occasions myself being in uniform and with accent being singled out officer by African American folks and in the moment they're told I was Albanian they immediately showed a great positive attitude pointing their albanian friends, neighbors and relationships. One very pretty lady once said: Are you Albanian? .. I surprised by her accuracy said yes and asked how she figured it out. She said that I talked like her Albanian boyfriend... Kevan my brother , appreciate you and your precise nsight about my old Country.
This was a beautiful comment. Thanks for taking time to write it!
@@MrKevanHudson Here in Austin was about 0500 hours and there are few souls in the street. Parked my vehicle and wrote it feeling obligated and appreciative
Thank you very much for that! It made me very interested in the relations between African Americans & Albanians. IDK if this topic has been researched, but now I think I'm gonna look into it@@KOGiyli
Spectacular video. Im in the US right now finishing a salmon season in Alaska, and I had been planning to move to Colombia when its over, but I just happened to come across an article talking about the year long visa free thing for Americans, and after a little research, I've fallen in love with a country i knew nothing about 2 weeks ago. Ive been watching a lot of vloggers these past couple weeks, and this video in particular has been the most informative and insightful so far. Everyone else seems to just talks about the prices, food and brush over other superficial subjects and all that jazz. Ill probably be there in about a month, and I'd love to buy you coffee or dinner and just chat with you if youre down.
I'm happy it was helpful! I tried to go into a bit more depth. But I think I should be making a part two pretty soon because I've been getting more questions.
@@MrKevanHudson Well I can't wait to see it!

Thanks for sharing. You infer some interesting insight into the Albanian-psyche.
I live in Chiang Mai,Thailand, a few years ago some Canadian-expats relocated to Sarande and opened up a small business. They have been raving about the place and because there are no Thai restaurants or ethnic-food options suggested that we should consider it as a ripe seasonal business opportunity.
From exploring Albania via YT-vids I'm really impressed with many aspects of the country and look forward to visiting in the near future. But, I still remain strangely apprehensive about the idea of setting-up a Thai-restaurant there. Local tongue-taste may not be open to Thai flavors. I don't know....for example, just seems odd that there are no Chinese there...they are basically everywhere a door is open.
I still find Albania fascinating and hope to check it out soon for myself.
Who told you there is no Chinese in Albania they are the first emigrants who settled in Tirana they have their own market
Thai food is great, I'm sure that people will love it. But don't think that you will become wealthy with a restaurant, it's the same like in Thailand, you can live normal with that income.
Thanks for that. Yes, I'm aware of the price point in Albania, which is about the same as a Thailand tourist area. The intent is to experience a new culture and the challenge of introducing a different cuisine into the market. We look at it as a seasonal business only, not a get rich quick operation.
@@songsabai3794
With some dedication and patience I think you’ll have success if decide to undertake such business here.
@@albloves Thanks for that. My impression is that Sarande is starting to attract a more diverse crowd (multi-national) rather than predominately Albanians.
Thanks Kevan, really appreciate you making this video. Wondering do you go to the beach? Is there a bus? Is it far? I know Sarande? Is supposed to be the beach place in Albania, but it looked like a building site & access is via Corfu. Thanks again, really appreciate you ✌🏻
There are some buses that take you to specific beaches. They leave signs up with numbers around the city that you have to find or ask someone about. Otherwise I would rent a car or take a taxi to the beach I want to go to after taking a bus to get to the nearest city. If you’re going to saranda you can take a city bus to ksamil.
Perhaps the best "Living in..." video I've ever seen!
thank you!
Amazing video! Thanks so much for sharing. How is it finding work for foreigners?
I think fairly easy if you're a native english/italian speaker looking to work in a call center.
Hello, I appreciate your video being very informative 👍 I've always wanted to visit Albanian, and I'm here in Tirana so far. I'm so happy to be here. I'm not bored.

Thank you for a very informative video about Albania, but the light from your room's ceiling was terrible in the video!
It's an airbnb. You're welcome for the information.
Loved this video. I’ve been in tirana for a year and a half now. What’s the black Facebook group?
We don't have a black FB group tbh. We just all know each other if that makes sense.
But I've stopped meeting new people for like 2 years now so I'm not up to date with most of the newer ones here.
But some of us are in the regular FB group

hows shopping in Albania? International brands that we have in the US? Also, would you say its a more advanced country considering its in the middle of Europe?
IDK how to define "advanced" and IDK where you're from to compare. Because Tirana is more advanced than some areas in rural America.
Shopping..mmm..I dont shop for clothes much but the prices are the same or maybe more expensenive than the rest of europe if you go to the mall. There are a lot of thrift stores and second hand shops everywhere. And there are also a lot of fake brands. They even sell fake Nikes at the mall which is shocking ebcause they mark them for the real price.
IF you're the type of person that can recognize fakes and quality/value you'll be fine
Advanced in comparison to where. The USA? Depends on the State. I'd say Albania would be ahead of 4 or 5 US states in terms of overall development. I see you have a video on Gothenburg, think of Tirana as Gothenburg 10 years ago. That's the level the city is at. As for shopping and brands you have most of what you have in the USA
The way you bullied our lion bro LOL
lmao I dont remember what I said. But if you mean the lion in the zoo (IDK if I mentioned it). I think it was in a "zoo" in Fier but it was abused I guess and then they brought it to Tirana.
Thank you for this! I’m gearing up to leave the USA and head to Albania because the USA is a dumpster fire right now, and I don’t see it getting any better anytime soon.
Very thorough video. Extremely articulate. MOST importantly: STOP gentrifying wherever you move. You make things completely unaffordable for the resident.
Yes they are friendly
