My family and I hired JBC and associates to assist with obtaining our Residency in Albania. Jene contacted me the same day that I sent an inquiry from their website. She made the process easy and stress free. She helped with getting our health insurance, translating documents and even making appointments at the US Embassy. I recommend her services to anyone wanting to have efficient and professional help.

We had an excellent experience working with Jene at JBC & Associates. She guided us through the entire process of purchasing our apartment and obtaining our Albanian residency, making everything clear and stress-free. She and her team were professional, responsive, and always willing to answer our questions. We truly appreciated their expertise and would highly recommend JBC & Associates to anyone looking for legal assistance in Albania.

I required an Albanian Residence Permit and, after some online research, identified JBC & Associates. I explained my circumstances over the phone and then visited their offices, conveniently located near the Air Albania Stadium in Tirana, to complete the necessary documentation. Within three hours of making first contact, my application had been submitted to the Immigration Department and has since resulted in the successful issuance of my Residence Permit. Full marks to Jene and her colleagues for their fast, efficient, and courteous service

JBC and Associates did a great job handling all the details of our residency application process. We are now proud residents of Albania. I also want to mention how responsive Jene and Monika were to our many questions. One or the other responded to our emails in a matter of hours. Highly recommend!

I applied for a residence permit with JBC & Associates. Monica and Jene handled the process from start to finish without empty promises. Everything was explained clearly, the documents were prepared properly, and they were always responsive. The process went smoothly and without surprises, and I received my residence permit within the expected timeframe. Professional and reliable service — I can recommend them.

Been trying to apply for a residence permit through other agents and got few rejects, before I was recommended and guided to this agency. They worked perfectly and very efficiently - gave me a full overview on the current status of my documents, application, provided a clear strategy on what shall we do and eventually secured my visa! The costs are also very reasonable and I'd rather came to them immediately - would actually save me more money :D. Well done, thank you!
