How to Hire Remote Workers in Albania Without a Local Entity

Thinking about hiring in Albania but worried about legal setup, contracts, or red tape?

Good news — you can build a remote team in Albania without opening a local company. In fact, many European businesses are doing exactly that right now.

Whether you need a customer support agent, virtual assistant, or remote sales rep, Albania offers a flexible and affordable way to grow your team.

Here’s how the process works and what you need to know.

You Don’t Need a Legal Entity to Hire

One of the biggest misunderstandings about international hiring is that you need to register a company in the country where the worker lives.

In most cases, you don’t.

If you’re hiring remote workers in Albania, you can work with a local recruitment partner who acts as the official employer. They handle the legal structure, while you get full control over the day-to-day work.

It’s called “employer of record” or staff leasing — and it makes international hiring simple.

What This Means for You

Here’s what you avoid:

No need to open a company in Albania
No business registration, taxes, or legal filings
No local payroll or HR staff
No risk of violating labor laws

Instead, you get a simple, all-in-one solution:
You tell us what you need. We find the right person. We take care of the paperwork. You get a worker who operates just like any member of your team.

What Kinds of Roles Can You Hire?

This setup works well for a range of positions, including:

Greek-speaking customer support
Italian-speaking virtual assistants
Sales or lead generation agents
Helpdesk or email support staff
Remote admin and back-office assistants

You can hire full-time, part-time, or even on a project basis. Some clients use this to test a new market. Others use it to scale quickly without committing to long-term contracts.

What Does the Process Look Like?

At Dream.al, the hiring flow is simple:

You send us the role details — language needed, responsibilities, schedule, etc.
We source and screen candidates — based on your exact criteria.
You interview the top matches — and select the best fit.
We handle the contract — and the worker is onboarded in days.

You don’t need to worry about compliance. The worker is officially contracted in Albania, but fully integrated into your team and workflow.

What About Cost?

You’ll usually pay a flat monthly rate. This includes:

The worker’s salary
Local employment fees or contributions
Our sourcing and administrative service

The result is clear, predictable pricing — no hidden costs or legal surprises.

You can often save 50 to 70 percent compared to hiring someone directly in your home country, especially for customer-facing roles.

Is This Legal and Safe?

Yes. The model is 100% legal and widely used by global companies.

It’s especially common in industries like tech, outsourcing, support services, and consulting. As long as you work with a trusted local partner, you stay fully compliant with both local and EU employment rules.

You also reduce your risk. If the hire doesn’t work out, you can easily stop or replace the role without navigating foreign courts or labor systems.

Who Is This Best For?

This model works especially well if:

You want to hire fast, without legal overhead
You need multilingual talent but don’t want to overpay
You’re testing a new business unit or product
You’re scaling a support or sales team remotely
You want flexibility to pause, change, or grow your team quickly

Hiring remote workers in Albania is easier than you think. You don’t need to open a company, register locally, or handle legal paperwork. All you need is a clear job need — and a reliable partner who knows the market.

Albania gives you access to skilled, multilingual professionals at a cost that’s hard to beat. And with the right setup, you can get started in just a few days.
