Hi everyone

I would like advice from anyone working as a freelance translator in Kosovo

May I ask you what is the procedure to register as an independent worker in this country ?

Thank you so much for your tips

Hello Caroline.

You didn't mention the citizenship, residence or what exactly made you worry, yet as far as you've been working as a freelancer since about 2007, you should be able to retain your location-independent freelance translator status.

Cheers

Ask Kosovan ProZians (there are about 67 of them) Jan 19, 2019

You may get better results if you contact Kosovan translators directly via ProZ.com's messaging system. ProZ.com's rules do allow you to contact individual translators for translation-related conversations.

ProZ.com does not recognise Kosovo as a country. However, you can edit the directory search URL to specify the middle of Kosovo and a 35 mile radius, so it is possible to find translators who claim to be from Kosovo, here (2 paying members, 65 non-paying members).
