In a decision approved on Wednesday, the Council of Ministers included as a condition for the new births’ bonus, the 180-day stay in Albania for parents of newborn babies.
The data will be obtained from the TIMS system of entries as the Albanian government intends to improve the policy launched a few years ago of the baby bonus for families who actually live in Albania.
Another element that is added is the benefit of this bonus from those foreigners who have settled in Albania as asylum seekers or refugees, who decide that their child’s citizenship should be Albanian.
In September of this year, the decision related to the baby bonus was changed, aiming for the benefits to be for citizens living inside the country, since over the years Albanian immigrants living abroad had also benefited from this legal space. For the government this was a double benefit as they also benefit from the schemes in the countries where they are located.
The government approved the baby bonus which has a financial benefit of 40,000 Lek ($400) for the first child, 80,000 Lek ($800) for the second child and 120,000 Lek for the third and subsequent babies, as a policy to encourage of fertility and population growth.
