ALBANIA C-TYPE E-VISA APPLICATION FOR INDONESIAN CITIZENS: KEY INFORMATION

For citizens of Indonesia planning a short-term visit to Albania, securing the C-Type E-Visa is a mandatory requirement. Given the distance, the official online application system provides the most efficient way for Indonesian travelers to obtain their necessary clearance prior to departure.

This guide clarifies the application process, outlines the associated costs, and details the essential difference between the two C-Type visa categories available.

DEFINING YOUR STAY: THE C-TYPE CATEGORIES

The C-Type E-Visa is strictly for temporary stays in Albania. Applicants from Indonesia must accurately identify the primary purpose of their trip, as this decision determines the maximum legal duration of their time in the country.

Category A: Extended Leisure (E-Tourist)

This category is appropriate for general holidays, cultural tours, and non-commercial visits to family or friends. It grants the longest permissible stay under a C-Type visa.

• Primary Purpose: Tourism, vacation, and private leisure activities.

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

Category B: Limited Commitment (E-Short Stay)

This category is strictly for Indonesian travelers whose trip is necessitated by a brief, focused professional, commercial, or official commitment in Albania.

• Primary Purpose: Business meetings, short training, or participation in defined non-leisure events.

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

Important Long-Term Note: The fixed administrative fee for either C-Type visa track is €60 EUR (approximately 70 USD). For long-term stays (D-Type), the consular application fee is 189.90 USD.

SUBMISSION LOGISTICS AND DOCUMENT CHECKLIST

All C-Type applications from Indonesia must meet standardized documentation and processing requirements.

1. Valid Indonesian Passport: Must be valid for a minimum of three months beyond your scheduled departure date from Albania.

2. Confirmed Travel Arrangements: Confirmed round-trip flight bookings and verifiable accommodation proof for the entire duration of your trip.

3. Financial Standing: Official bank statements or documentation demonstrating sufficient funds to cover all living expenses.

Frequently Asked Questions

If my application contains a typo, can I amend it after submission?

Once the application is officially submitted, making amendments is extremely difficult and may require reapplying. Applicants from Indonesia should double-check all data before finalizing the €60 / 70 USD fee payment.

Does the 180-day validity window mean I can stay 60 days, leave, and come back for another 60 days?

No. The C-Type E-Visa is typically single-entry. Once you leave Albania, the visa is considered used. The 180-day window is only for your initial entry.

Is the E-Visa valid for all ports of entry?

Yes. The approved C-Type E-Visa is valid for entry at all official ports of entry in Albania, including international airports and land border checkpoints.
