Would you believe you can live by the sea in Europe for just $615 a month? 🌊🇦🇱
In this inspiring interview, I sit down with Sarah Burghart, an American expat living in Vlorë, Albania, one of Europe’s most affordable coastal cities. Sarah shares exactly how she lives comfortably in a cozy seaside home with stunning views, enjoys fresh seafood, and walks to the beach—all on a budget that would barely cover rent in many Western countries.
We break down: ✅ Her total monthly cost of living in Vlorë
✅ What makes Albania a hidden gem for expats and retirees
✅ The incredibly simple visa requirements for long-term stays
✅ How much YOU would need per month to live here comfortably
✅ Tips for those considering a move to Albania or the Balkans
If you're looking for a low-cost, beautiful place to retire or work remotely—Albania might be your dream destination.

I am Albanian and live in Germany, but when I hear how well the foreign guests speak about Albania, it makes my soul feel really good.Of course, we Albanians do not forget how often, in the last 120 years and especially in very difficult situations, the Americans have helped us. Therefore, we feel a close connection to the USA.
For me, the mentality of the very average American citizen is quite similar to ours, meaning being practical, friendly, helpful, and communicative.

Me as Albanian from Vlorë city, i left Albania for moving in USA 😅😅😅.. I left behind a nice 2 BDR. Apt. Brand new purchased, and renovated, to rent for 1.600$ x month 1 BDR. in a building of 60's in Bronx NY, with primitive conditions 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️😅😅😅... But some Americans have found their paradise in Albania!! The world is very crazy!!😅😅

Imagine me, an Albanian living in America for 24 years, thinking to leave, and watching foreigners talking about visas to stay in Albania.

Thank you so much for this! Albania is top of my list and Vlorë has been on my radar.

This guy looks as a good and comprehensive person,plus his English is very clear by using perfect pause. The lady speaks vert clear as well, in short, excellent show.

Americans dont need a visa to stay in Albania. You can stay for 360 days just on your passport.

Regarding the hospitals; when I was in Albania last month, my taxi driver mentioned that they’re adding another building to the hospital near the Djati Ekspres. It looks like they’re expanding and upgrading the facilities.

@tonielezi8458 1 year ago

Hi im Albanian and i agree what you say overall. But public hospitals are not that bad as you say, i have broken so many bones i had 3 surgeries and im alive and well, and they are free. They need to be better ok but they are not that bad as you describe them. We are not dying here

Thanks Sarah! great info. This is one of the videos I watched deciding to move. Just met Sarah, a wonderful person, at my first Vlore Expat meetup! I moved to Vlore, Albania June 10 nearly into the summer season so not many inexpensive apartments available as they start summer AirBnB. Apartment 3 minutes off the center of the Lungomare beach coastal road (the very busy bar-restaurant strip) costs for me with a 12 mo lease, 400 euros, very nice, very secure, 70 Sq. meters,1 BR +1 bath, AC in BR, 2 mos deposit +annual elevator key 65 euros cash, not a great building or great view. It is very convenient to grocery/produce markets & shopping. + Water-?, Electric-? TBD, + 100 Mbps Internet 17 Euros/mo.

Albania can be affordable if you really dig deep, but overall, the cost of living has been rising steadily in recent years. I wouldn’t emphasize “cheap” or “low-cost” living when talking about Albania. While there are certainly different levels and lifestyles available, not all of them are suitable or realistic for expats — especially those coming from more developed countries.

Let’s also remember that Albania is still a developing country. This means you’ll find a wide range of living standards — including areas that fall well below what many expats might be able or willing to adapt to. It’s important to approach the idea of affordability here with nuance and context.

We are going to Albania today from Greece. I can't wait to check it out for moving to in the near future. So glad to see this. Perfect timing. Great info.
