Albania's company register lists 88,988 officer rows, 79,021 with a stated nationality (self-stamp rate 1.00; above 0.98 the field is ignored as it only repeats the register's own country).
Counts are people with a documented cross-border move: an official register's nationality or birthplace, ORCID/VIAF/Wikidata records, or a dated study-then-work transition. Name-based estimates and heritage (ancestral) readings are not included in these counts. Groups under 5 people are folded into "Other".
Aggregate statistics from official company registers, ORCID, VIAF and Wikidata, compiled by compatriots.net · data build v3_20261030. No individual is named on this page. See methodology & privacy.
