Construction, textile/footwear and hospitality workers deployed under Albania's Leje Unike (Unique Permit) system — timed correctly around the mandatory labour-market test.
✔ Zero cost to employer — sourcing, screening, trade-testing & documentation handled and absorbed by Crown. (Flight, permit and other logistics costs are arranged case-by-case with each employer.)

Albania's tourism boom and EU-adjacent construction pipeline have outpaced its own workforce: sustained outward migration to Italy and Greece has left a real shortfall in site labour, hotel staff and factory hands, particularly along the coast from Durrës to Sarandë. Crown Enterprises places Pakistani construction, textile/footwear and hospitality workers into that shortfall under our BEOE license.
Since Law 79/2021, Albania runs a single combined work-and-residence document — the Leje Unike (Unique Permit) — applied for through the e-Albania portal with a biometric appointment at the Regional Directorate of Border and Migration Police. The step employers most often get caught out on is the 4-week mandatory job advertisement through the Albanian National Employment Service, which must run to completion before any permit filing opens. Crown times every Albania mobilisation around that window so it doesn't cost you a month of dead time.

As a licensed Overseas Employment Promoter (OEP 2869/RWP), we complete BEOE Protectorate clearance, PakSoftSkills registration (mandatory since 19 November 2025), medicals, trade-testing through NAVTTC-approved centres, and police clearance in Pakistan, so every worker travels legally documented.
Yes. Since Law No. 79/2021 on Foreigners, Albania issues a single combined Unique Permit (Leje Unike) covering both work authorisation and residence, replacing the old multi-document system. Every Pakistani worker we deploy to Albania is processed under this current system.
Albanian law requires the employer to run a job advertisement through the Albanian National Employment Service for 4 weeks as a labour-market test before a Unique Permit application can be filed — it cannot run concurrently with the application. We build this into the project timeline from the first conversation so it isn't a surprise later.
Indicatively 30–60 days for the permit itself once the labour-market test period has closed (legal maximum 12 weeks), plus the 4-week advertisement window and standard Pakistan-side processing. We give a realistic combined estimate per batch.
As of 2026 the Albanian minimum wage is approximately ALL 50,000 per month (roughly US$530). Employment contracts for foreign workers must meet or exceed this floor, and the contract signed on arrival must match the one submitted with the permit application — we make sure of that.
Construction, tourism & hospitality along the coast, and textiles & footwear are the persistent shortage areas, alongside logistics and manufacturing supporting Albania's growing export base.
