What is the government fee to register an LLC (SH.P.K.) in Kosovo?

What is the minimum statutory share capital required for a Kosovo LLC?
Under Kosovo Law on Commercial Companies, there is no minimum share capital requirement (historically EUR 1,000, now abolished to €0/€1 symbolic capital), allowing local and foreign investors to incorporate without substantial tied-up equity.

Is a separate work permit certificate required for foreign entrepreneurs?
Foreign owners registered as authorized representatives/directors in ARBK obtain a combined single-permit procedure through the Department for Citizenship, Asylum and Migration (DCAM / MPB) alongside the Employment Agency of the Republic of Kosovo (APRK).

Foreign founders should budget for certified court translations and apostille verifications (€40-€80), official medical health certificates issued by authorized Kosovo clinics (€30-€50), proof of commercial lease, and commercial bank account maintenance (€50-€100).
