Albania e-Visa

What is the Albania e-Visa?

Albania e-Visa is an online visa system introduced by the government for foreign nationals to enter and stay in Albania.

Thanks to the electronic application for a visa, there's no need to contact the Albanian embassy, so the whole process is simple.

During the e-Visa procedure, travelers are required to provide information about themselves and the travel, cover the fee, and wait for approval sent via email.

Applicants are encouraged to use the Passporta website to get the Albanian visa. The offered solutions ensure smooth procedures handled by experts.

There are two primary e-Visa options available:

• Type "A" (Transit Visa): Ideal for brief stops in Albania while en route to another destination.
• Type "C" (Short-Stay Visa): Allows stays of up to 90 days within a 180-day period, perfect for tourism or short-term visits.

Both visas may be used for one, two, or multiple entries, depending on the chosen option. Applicants must be outside of Albanian territory to apply for the online visa via Passporta.
