The Albanians of Kosovo, the Republic of North Macedonia and Montenegro are no longer required to take the Albanian language exam to obtain Albanian citizenship.
The legal changes published in the official notebook enter into force at the end of June.
"An exception to this rule is made only for foreign citizens in countries where the Albanian language is the official language."
The facility is also available for young talents who want to obtain Albanian citizenship.
The passport will be issued with a special procedure for foreigners under the age of 18 who do not live in Albania, but our country is interested in them in the field of education, science, art, culture, economy and sports.
Citizenship can only be acquired with the consent of both parents or legal guardian, as well as the child when he is 14-18 years old.
The data show that in 2023, 347 foreigners have acquired Albanian citizenship.
While only for the first months there are 159 people.
The highest requests to be provided with an Albanian passport appear to come from Kosovo Albanians, as well as Turkish citizens.
