One of the issues that institutions that plan to invest in a country with international standards in a university, faculty or college is most curious about is whether they can bring their own academic staff to that country. Kosovo Agency of Statistics (ASK) data clearly show that the Kosovo higher education system has opened its doors to foreign academic staff and that this process is carried out officially under registration.
International Vision and Foreign Educators in Higher Education According to the 2018/2019 academic year data, the presence of foreign academics working in public and private universities in Kosovo proves that the system is not limited to local human resources only. When international education brands or private funds invest in Kosovo, they can bring their own professors, associate professors and researchers (expats) to Kosovo in order to improve the quality of education and integrate their curricula with global standards. Foreign staff is a factor that directly increases the quality of education, especially in specific fields such as informatics, medicine, engineering and foreign language philology.
Academic Staff Opportunities for Foreign Investors According to our editorial evaluation of Kosovo Investment, the presence of foreign academics in the country offers two important opportunities: First, there is a legal infrastructure in which instructors with international CVs can be used to meet the quality standards of the Kosovo Accreditation Agency (KAA). The second is that these academics develop the "qualified academic ecosystem" (capacity building) in the country by mentoring not only students but also local assistants and doctoral students in Kosovo.
Although the data proves that foreign personnel can be employed in Kosovo; Obtaining work permits, residence permit procedures, diploma equivalence for foreign academics, reviewing double taxation agreements and making personnel contracts comply with local law are extremely critical steps. In education investments, it is mandatory for professional consultants to separately examine the license, accreditation, municipal practices, personnel, facilities, tax, accounting and legal processes.
