Albania to remove taxes for digital nomads

[mud]

Just be careful as the DN Visa does NOT include tax residency.⁢ IMHO i twas a bad last minute change. Getting residency is somewhat harder - here's︀ a blog I wrote last year from Albania.

Show me a visa that includes tax residency .... conf/(%🙄

Well you get Tax Residency when opening a company in Eswatini.

And if you stay anywhere‌ long enough (e.g. 6 months in Albania) then you can get tax residency. Which at‍ 5% tax for tech businesses is a pretty good deal.

In both cases, it is not the visa which gives you tax residency.

 

[mud]

Well, in some countries it does. Albania not. To get tax residency you have to‌ spend 6 months of every year there. Which means, unless you're a US citz (or‍ 1 or 2 other countries) you need a Visa to stay longer than 3 months.⁠

Wrong.
It is never a visa that gets you tax⁤ residency. It is the fact that you stayed or have your habitual abode in that⁣ country.
If you are an illegal immigrant (no valid visa or no visa at all),⁢ you are still a tax resident.

So, stop with this visa argument; it just confuses︀ others.
