Albania and Serbia work differently again. Nationals of many countries can enter visa-free for 90 days in any 180, which suits a trial stay but not a long one. For longer stays Albania has a dedicated unique permit for digital mobile workers and Serbia relies on temporary residence permits; both ask you to show sufficient means without publishing a fixed figure.
