Albania - Ekhbary News Agency
Former New York City Mayor Eric Adams has officially acquired Albanian citizenship and become a registered resident in the capital city, Tirana. This significant move, which includes obtaining an Albanian passport and ID card, has garnered international attention. While the specific reasons behind Adams' decision remain undisclosed by local officials, the acquisition of Albanian citizenship offers substantial benefits. The Albanian passport is ranked 43rd globally, providing visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 123 countries, including the Schengen Area for short stays.
Beyond travel advantages, citizenship allows Adams to live, work, vote, and potentially run for office in Albania. Speculation about a mayoral bid in Tirana has surfaced locally, though sources close to Adams suggest business interests are the primary driver, dismissing political ambitions. Adams' previous visit to Albania involved discussions on tourism and business development. This move follows a period where the former mayor faced corruption allegations, which were later dismissed. His Albanian citizenship opens new avenues for international engagement and business opportunities.
