At the end of 2021, 566 thousand Albanians registered in European Union states, not including Greece, according to statistics published by the European Union.
Most of them are in Italy, where by the end of 2021 433 thousand citizens were registered, or 76% of the total Eurostat statements (without Greece).
Eurostat has not published the data for Greece, but along with Italy, the state has been hosting more citizens for years, at levels similar to Italy.
In the past three years, the number of Albanians living in the European Union states has increased by nearly 30,000 people. What is obvious is the new tendency to flee to Germany. Of the 30,000 who have managed to register in an EU country in the last three years, about 27.3 thousand of them have fled to Germany, bringing the total number to nearly 77 thousand people, the third to Italy and Greece for the total number of Albanian citizens living in an EU country.
France is the second post-German state to have seen the highest growth of Albanian citizens, with about 8,500 people added, to a total of 33 thousand people. Unlike Germany, where people generally go who have a job contract, and therefore figure registered as residents, in France the number of persons seeking asylum is much higher and may not, in turn, figure out the records of non-EU citizens living in France.
For the same period, the number of Albanians in Italy has dropped by about 7,000 people. Italy remains the main host state, with about 433,000 Albanian citizens.
In other EU countries, fewer than 70,000 people are registered. Belgium (6,807), Sweden (6,184) and Austria (3,038).
Germany's Growth of Attitude Permissions
Germany, which is facing restrictions on the internal labour market, is attracting citizens from around the world, including Albanians, in recent years. Specialities such as doctors, nurses, IT experts are among the most popular professions in Germany.
Other Eurostat data, available by 2020, shows that German residence permits towards Albanian citizens have increased significantly starting in 2018. In that year over 10,000 Albanian citizens were equipped with permission to live and work in Europe's largest economy. In 2019, their number exceeded 12,000. In 2020, though in the pandemic and strong restrictions on the movement, about 8,300 residence permits were granted. /Monitor
