Quick answers

Albania registered agent & remote company formation, explained

What is a registered agent in Albania?

A registered agent in Albania is a resident person or firm that provides your company's official registered office (selia ligjore) at the National Business Center (QKB) and receives government and legal correspondence on the company's behalf. Albania has no single statutory "registered agent" title as in the US; in practice the role is filled by a licensed accountant or law firm that holds the registered address, files with the tax authority, and — for VAT — can act as your fiscal representative. Shërbime Kontabiliteti provides this as one bundled service for non-resident owners: a real Tirana registered office, plus filing and deadline monitoring under power of attorney.

Can a foreigner form an Albanian company (SHPK) remotely?

Yes. A foreigner can form an Albanian limited company (SHPK) entirely remotely, without travelling to Albania, by granting a power of attorney to a local representative. The representative registers the company at QKB, obtains the NIPT (tax ID) and VAT registration, and sets the registered office address. Minimum share capital is 100 lekë (about €1), and 100% foreign ownership is allowed with no resident-director requirement. Once your signed and notarised power of attorney and KYC reach us, QKB registration takes about 5–7 business days; allow roughly two weeks end-to-end, including the notary/apostille step, which varies by country. Shërbime Kontabiliteti handles the full remote formation and then runs the company's monthly compliance.

Do you need a fiscal representative for VAT in Albania?

A non-established business that owes Albanian VAT must appoint a resident tax representative (përfaqësues tatimor) who is jointly responsible for that VAT, under VAT Law 92/2014 and Tax Procedures Law 9920/2008. The representative can be a legal person, not only an individual. Many foreign-owned Albanian companies do not need a separate fiscal representative because their own SHPK handles VAT, or because B2B supplies fall under reverse charge. Shërbime Kontabiliteti assesses each case honestly in a €30 consultation and only recommends fiscal representation where the law actually requires it.

How do you make sure deadlines aren't missed from abroad?

In Albania most deadline-bearing notices arrive electronically — through the e-Albania portal and the company's tax e-account — not by post. Shërbime Kontabiliteti holds authorized access to those accounts and monitors them on a fixed schedule, backed by a deadline engine that tracks every VAT return, annual financial statement, and beneficial-owner update. The firm prepares and files each obligation; the owner approves. This electronic monitoring — not mail forwarding — is what keeps a non-resident owner from letting an Albanian filing slip.

Who this is for

Built for owners who are not on the ground in Albania

If you are abroad, the registration queues, the legal address, and the electronic tax notices are all problems you cannot solve from a laptop alone. We are your people in Tirana.

Foreign founders forming an SHPK

You want an Albanian company for its tax tiers or EU-adjacent base, but you are abroad and cannot sit in QKB queues or receive official mail in Tirana.

Digital nomads & solo operators

You are mobile and need a real, registered Albanian address plus someone local watching deadlines — without renting an office you will never use.

Non-resident e-commerce & SaaS owners

You owe Albanian VAT or run an Albanian entity remotely. Tax notices land electronically in e-Albania — you need someone watching that inbox, not a PO box.

Investors who visit, not reside

You hold an Albanian company but live elsewhere. You need a compliant legal seat, on-time filings, and one point of contact who flags anything that needs you.

What's included

Everything to form and keep an Albanian company compliant

One provider, one point of contact — the legal seat, the formation, the filings, and the monitoring that actually prevents missed deadlines.

01

Registered office (selia ligjore)

A genuine, inspectable Tirana address registered as your company’s legal seat at QKB — receiving official correspondence on your behalf. Included in your monthly plan (additional seats €420/yr).

02

Company formation (SHPK)

We register your limited company, obtain your NIPT, and complete VAT registration at QKB — entirely remotely, under power of attorney. One-time.

03

Monthly compliance & bookkeeping

VAT returns, bookkeeping, payroll if needed, annual financials and beneficial-owner updates — prepared, filed and kept current. We file; you approve.

04

e-Albania monitoring & deadline engine

We watch your e-Albania portal and tax e-account — where the real notices arrive — and a deadline engine tracks every obligation, so deadlines don’t slip.

Transparent pricing

One bundled plan — pick the tier that fits

Your registered office (selia ligjore) is included in every monthly plan — never a separate purchase. Each plan adds a one-time €900 formation. Your first month is charged at checkout and the plan renews on that date each month — including during the roughly two-week setup. Prefer to talk first? A €30 consult is credited toward your setup.

FAQ

Questions non-resident owners ask us

Do I have to travel to Albania?

No. The entire engagement runs remotely. We act under a power of attorney to register your company, hold your registered address, and file with the tax authority on your behalf. You only travel if you personally choose to.

Is the registered address a real, inspectable office?

Yes. It is a genuine Tirana business address that can lawfully serve as your company’s registered seat (selia ligjore) at QKB and receive official correspondence — not a virtual PO box that fails an inspection. Our Tirana office is at Rr. e Bogdanëve, Pallati Eurocoll.

How long does company formation take?

Plan for about 5–7 business days of our QKB work once your signed and notarised power of attorney and KYC documents reach us; allow roughly two weeks end-to-end, including the notary/apostille step, which varies by country. We confirm the exact timeline in your consult.

How do you keep deadlines from slipping?

Most Albanian official correspondence now arrives electronically — in your e-Albania and tax account, not by post. We monitor those inboxes on a schedule and run a deadline engine that tracks every VAT return, annual filing and beneficial-owner update. We prepare and file; you approve.

What about acting as my VAT fiscal representative?

Full VAT fiscal representation is available where it is genuinely required, but it carries specific conditions and is assessed individually in your consultation — we tell you honestly whether you need it or whether reverse-charge handling is enough.

How do I pay, and what does the consult cost?

You can buy a plan directly online — pick a package and pay; the one-time formation plus your first month are clear up front, with fixed pricing and no hourly billing. Ongoing fees are invoiced monthly or annually. Prefer to talk first? A €30 consultation is credited toward your setup if you engage us.
