DECISION: Police officers, doctors, medical students and FA will benefit from home loans with 0% interest, 300 quotas for this year

Public administration employees will be able to benefit from home loans with 0% interest, following the support scheme approved by the government. The criteria have been published in the official notebook, while only 300 quotas have been opened for 2023. Beneficiaries of loans with 0% interest are three categories, employees of the public health system, employees of the State Police and soldiers of the Armed Forces. 100 quotas are available for each of the categories.

In order to benefit from the loan, police officers and FA soldiers must have been employed in the public administration for at least 2 years, as well as being married in the civil registry.

As for the other criteria, in order to receive a loan with 0% interest, they must not own a home, or the home they live in is at risk of collapse, they are at risk of becoming homeless as a result of natural disasters, or they live in overcrowded housing, according to the regulations and norms in force. Also, according to VKM, it is said that Armed Forces policemen will be able to receive loans even in cases where the apartment they live in is destroyed or excluded from the legalization process, due to public investments.

The same criteria apply to doctors, while only those who meet the four conditions set by the government can apply. Specifically, those doctors who are employed in public health institutions with an indefinite employment contract, doctors who work more than 80 km away from their place of residence or in rural areas or secondary or tertiary centers can apply.

Students who have signed the new agreement through which they will have to work for 5 years in Albania will also benefit from this support scheme.
