Electronic visa
An e-Visa is issued without a physical sticker in the passport in many cases; the decision is communicated electronically. It is suited to short and certain long-stay categories where the procedure is opened online.
How Albania organises visa issuance: electronic vs stamped visas, fees, exemptions, and alignment with the national list of states whose nationals require a visa.
An e-Visa is issued without a physical sticker in the passport in many cases; the decision is communicated electronically. It is suited to short and certain long-stay categories where the procedure is opened online.
Fees are fixed by Council of Ministers decisions and vary by visa type and age. Some categories (e.g. children under six, certain diplomatic passports under reciprocity) may be exempt.
Albania’s visa policy is influenced by EU visa policy dialogue and regional arrangements. Nationals should always check the current list of visa-required countries before travel.
