International Journal of Innovative Research and Scientific Studies, 2025, vol. 8, issue 3, 3980-3987

Abstract: The authors deal with the right of foreign workers to access the Albanian labor market, particularly the legal framework, the administrative procedures, and some technical rules concerning work permits and sanctions as well. This article also highlights the rules governing the general conditions, the sanctions for illegal participation in the labor market, and legal remedies. Albania has implemented new legislation to improve its alignment with the standards of EU legislation and to be well prepared for its eventual accession. This (long) process has driven the Republic of Albania to further improve its legislation and policy framework for migration. Albania is considered a typical migrant-sending country. Emigration continues to this day, mainly for economic and social reasons, though policies within the EU may be slowing down. Albania today has a complete legal framework on migrants. This country has attracted a small number of foreign workers due to scarce immigration. In recent years, the picture remains the same. Indeed, many reports and studies deal with the migration and integration of Albanian citizens all over the world, while minimum studies deal with the legal status and integration of foreigners (workers) in Albania.
