Albania issues tourist visas that allow stays of up to 90 days within a 180-day period, with multiple-entry access. Applications are processed over 7–10 working days and are handled without an eVisa portal or embassy appointment — Travelzeego manages the process for residents of India, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Oman. The Albanian authorities make all approval decisions.
What the Albania Tourist Visa lets you do
The visa permits stays of up to 90 days within any 180-day window, on a multiple-entry basis. That means you can enter Albania more than once during the validity period, which suits travellers who want to combine Albania with neighbouring countries such as North Macedonia, Montenegro, or Kosovo and return. Within Albania, you can travel freely — the Albanian Riviera along the Ionian coast, the Ottoman-era old city of Gjirokastër (a UNESCO site), the capital Tirana, the lake city of Shkodër, and Valbona valley in the Albanian Alps are all accessible. The visa covers tourism only; it does not permit work or study.
Before you apply for Albania
- Your passport must have at least 6 months of validity beyond your intended travel dates — Albania applies this check at the border, not just at the application stage.
- Scan the photo page and the MRZ (machine-readable zone) lines at the bottom clearly; border officials cross-check these against the visa, and a blurred MRZ is a common reason documents are sent back.
- Your flight itinerary should show a round trip or onward journey out of Albania — a one-way booking with no exit plan regularly raises questions.
- Hotel bookings must cover every night of your planned stay; partial accommodation records are a frequent cause of delays for Albanian applications specifically.
- The photo must be recent, in colour, on a plain white background — Albania's consular review is strict on background colour, so avoid off-white or cream.
- Albania has no eVisa portal and no embassy appointment requirement for this process, so do not attempt to apply directly through an Albanian government website — the application is submitted on your behalf through Travelzeego.
Why Albania applications get delayed or refused
- Incomplete accommodation records are the most common issue — if any nights are unaccounted for, the application stalls pending clarification.
- MRZ scan quality: the two lines of text at the bottom of the passport photo page must be fully legible; cropped or low-resolution scans cause processing delays.
- A flight itinerary that shows only entry into Albania with no confirmed or tentative exit raises concerns about the intent to leave within the allowed 90-day stay.
- Photos that do not meet the white-background requirement or that appear older than recent are frequently flagged for replacement, adding days to the process.
- Applying with a passport that has less than 6 months of validity remaining is an automatic obstacle — Albania's border authority enforces this strictly.
Arriving in Albania
Most international flights arrive at Tirana International Airport Nënë Tereza, the country's main entry point. Border officers will check your visa, passport, and may ask to see proof of accommodation and return travel — having printed or digital copies of your hotel bookings and flight itinerary accessible speeds this up considerably. Albania uses the Schengen-style 90-in-180 rule for its own border tracking, so if you have been in Albania or in countries with which Albania shares border agreements earlier in the same 180-day period, the days count. Ferry arrivals from Italy (Bari or Ancona to Durrës or Vlorë) are also common; the same visa and document checks apply at the port. If you are crossing an overland border from Kosovo, North Macedonia, Greece, or Montenegro, carry your full document set — land border checks can be more detailed than airport arrivals.
Tips from our visa team
- Save digital copies of your hotel bookings and flight itinerary on your phone before you fly — Albanian border officers do ask to see them, and having them ready avoids a slow queue.
- If you plan to visit neighbouring countries and re-enter Albania, track your days carefully: Albania applies a 90-day limit within any 180-day period, so days from earlier visits in the same window count toward that total.
- Tirana's city centre, the Blloku district, and the National History Museum are walkable from most central hotels — no internal visa or permit is needed to move between Albanian regions, but mountain areas like Valbona require advance accommodation booking as o
