One Year in Albania Changed Our Lives (Here’s How)

After almost a year living in Albania as U.S. expats, here’s what we’ve actually experienced, the good, the frustrating, and the things we wish we knew before moving. From renewing my passport at the U.S. Embassy in Tirana to navigating residency through a business visa, dealing with real estate bureaucracy, and figuring out daily life, this is the reality of expat life in Albania. We also share the biggest mistakes we made (like what we packed wrong), what we’re glad we did to prepare (like rehoming our pets), and some of the wild moments we’ve witnessed along the way. If you’re thinking about moving abroad or leaving the U.S., this video gives you a real look at what your first year might actually be like. ☕ Support the channel: https://buymeacoffee.com/AdaminAlbania 📸 Instagram:   / adaminalbania   🎥 YouTube:    / @adaminalbania   🎵 TikTok:   / adaminalbania   Albanian Legal and Real Estate Advice : Alvaro Dalipi +355-69-51-49-265 (WhatsApp) [email protected] www.vlora-legal.agency 📸 Instagram:   / vlora.legal.advice   living in albania, albania expat, moving to albania, expat life albania, american in albania, us expat albania, life in albania 2026, tirana albania, cost of living albania, albania residency permit, albania business visa, buying property in albania, albania real estate, expat mistakes moving abroad, leaving the us, digital nomad albania, living abroad tips, expat life europe, first year abroad, culture shock albania, travel albania, living in europe as an american
