About 12,000 Albanians applied to the EU for asylum, requests return to growth

At slower rates compared to the previous two years, but still many Albanian citizens continue to seek asylum in one of the countries of the European Union even in 2023.

The latest data published by Eurostat show that for the period January-September, the applications of Albanian citizens for asylum were almost 12 thousand (11,865). Compared to 2022, when the highest post-pandemic level was recorded, asylum requests have fallen by 32%, indicating a lower rate of flight compared to the previous year.

However, in September, an increase in the flow compared to the previous months was found again. In September, asylum applications reached 1,240, the highest level since March, when there were more than 1,500 applications. In August, the level of applications had dropped to about a thousand.

In general, about 60% of those seeking asylum apply for the first time, while the rest are repeat applications.

France continues to be the main country where Albanian citizens who want to seek asylum go, as a result of the more social policies it follows. In second place is Germany, followed by Italy.

Requests for asylum in Europe

According to Eurostat, in September of this year, 98,240 non-EU citizens applied for international protection in EU countries, an increase of 10% compared to September 2022 (89,370).
