OFFICIAL GUIDE: ALBANIA C-TYPE E-VISA APPLICATION FOR HONDURAN CITIZENS

For citizens of Honduras planning a short visit to Albania, the C-Type E-Visa is the mandatory authorization required for entry. The entirely digital application ensures a convenient process for Honduran travelers to secure their clearance from Central America.

This official guide outlines the necessary requirements, clarifies the fees, and emphasizes the structural difference between the two short-stay options available.

THE TWO FORMS OF THE C-TYPE VISA

The C-Type E-Visa is strictly for temporary stays. Applicants from Honduras must choose the visa form that accurately aligns with their trip's purpose, as this choice determines the maximum duration allowed.

Form 1: The E-Tourist Visa (Longer Purpose)

This form is designated for travelers whose intention is to tour, relax, or visit family and friends. It offers the longest stay period under the C-Type visa.

• Primary Purpose: Tourism, general leisure, and non-commercial activities.

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

Form 2: The E-Short Stay Visa (Limited Purpose)

This form is for Honduran travelers with specific, essential, and limited professional or official commitments in Albania, such as meetings or short training.

• Primary Purpose: Business, specific appointments, or limited professional tasks.

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

Long-Term Clarification: For stays exceeding 60 days or for long-term work/residency, the D-Type (E-Long Stay) visa is required, which has a consular fee of 189.90 USD.

LOGISTICS: REQUIRED EVIDENCE AND TIMELINE

All C-Type applications from Honduras are subject to a uniform administrative fee and processing schedule.

• Fixed Fee: The mandatory, non-refundable administrative charge is €60 EUR (or approximately 70 USD).

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

Required Evidence List

A complete submission relies on providing clear digital proof of the following:

• Identity Proof: A valid passport issued by Honduras, valid for at least three months beyond your scheduled departure date, plus a recent digital photo.

• Travel Plan: Confirmed round-trip flight bookings and verified proof of accommodation for the full duration of your trip.

• Financial Standing: Official documentation (e.g., bank statements) verifying sufficient funds to support yourself throughout your stay.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if I realize I need the longer E-Tourist visa after applying for the E-Short Stay visa?

If the visa has not yet been approved, you may be able to contact support to amend the purpose, though this can delay processing. If the visa is already approved, you must use it as granted or apply for a completely new C-Type visa with the correct purpose.

Is the E-Visa valid for 90 days or 180 days?

The stay is limited to a maximum of 30-60 days. The validity window (the period you have to use the visa for entry) can be up to 180 days. Do not confuse these two terms.

Can the Albanian government contact my employer in Honduras to verify my trip purpose?

Yes. As part of the verification process, Albanian authorities reserve the right to contact organizations, hosts, or employers listed on your application form to verify the stated purpose and duration of your visit.
