SECURING YOUR ALBANIA C-TYPE E-VISA FROM HAITI: REQUIREMENTS AND PROCESS

For citizens of Haiti planning short-term travel to Albania, obtaining the C-Type E-Visa is a mandatory requirement. The convenience of the online application portal allows Haitian travelers to efficiently secure their necessary authorization before departing from the Caribbean.

This guide outlines the application process, clarifies the fees, and emphasizes the crucial distinction between the two short-stay options available.

C-TYPE VISA CATEGORIES: PURPOSE AND LIMITS

The C-Type E-Visa is divided into two strict categories based on the intent of the trip. Applicants from Haiti must select the option that accurately reflects their purpose, as this choice determines the maximum duration allowed.

Option A: Leisure and Extended Visits (E-Tourist Visa)

This category is appropriate for general holiday travel, sightseeing, and spending time with family and friends. It offers the longest permissible duration for a short-term visa.

• Primary Purpose: Vacation and non-commercial leisure.

• Permitted Stay Duration: Grants permission for a continuous stay of 30 to 60 days.

Option B: Professional and Limited Stays (E-Short Stay Visa)

This category is strictly for Haitian travelers with an essential, defined, and limited professional or commercial commitment in Albania.

• Primary Purpose: Business meetings, short training, or professional obligations.

• Permitted Stay Duration: The stay is limited to the essential timeframe: 7, 15, or 30 days.

Mandatory Fees: The administrative charge for both C-Type options is a non-refundable €60 EUR (or approximately 70 USD).

FEES, PROCESSING, AND DOCUMENT CHECKLIST

All C-Type applications share the same fee and processing schedule.

• Processing Time: Applications are typically processed within 5 to 9 business days.

• Validity: The approved E-Visa grants a total validity window (time to enter Albania) of 60, 90, or 180 days from the date of issue.

Required Document Checklist

To ensure a smooth submission, prepare digital copies of the following documents:

1. Valid Haitian Passport: Must be valid for at least three months beyond your scheduled departure date.

2. Confirmed Itinerary: Proof of round-trip flight bookings and verifiable accommodation for the entire trip.

3. Financial Proof: Documentation confirming sufficient funds to cover all expenses during the trip.

4. Digital Photo: A recent, clear digital photo meeting international passport standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I pay the €60 fee in Haitian Gourde (HTG)?

All fees are processed in EUR or USD. The €60 / 70 USD amount will be automatically converted to your local currency (HTG) by your bank or payment provider at the current exchange rate when the payment is finalized.

If I am only visiting for 5 days, why would I select the 30-day option?

The 30-day option (E-Short Stay) is the maximum limit for that category. By selecting it, you are confirming your purpose aligns with a professional or limited stay, even if your actual trip is shorter.

Is the E-Visa valid for neighboring countries like Kosovo or North Macedonia?

No. The Albania C-Type E-Visa only grants legal entry into Albania. Separate travel authorizations are required for all neighboring countries.
