ALBANIA C-TYPE E-VISA REQUIREMENTS FOR JORDANIAN CITIZENS: DETAILED GUIDE

For citizens of Jordan planning a short-term visit to Albania, obtaining the C-Type E-Visa is the mandatory authorization required for entry. The online application system provides a direct and efficient way for Jordanian travelers to secure their necessary clearance.

This detailed guide outlines the specific requirements, clarifies the fees, and emphasizes the crucial distinction between the two forms of the short-stay visa.

THE TWO FORMS OF THE C-TYPE VISA

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

Form A: E-Tourist (Leisure and Family)

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 B: E-Short Stay (Business and Professional)

This form is for Jordanian travelers with specific, essential, and limited professional, commercial, or official commitments in Albania.

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

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

Long-Term Note: The fixed administrative fee for either C-Type visa form is €60 EUR (or approximately 70 USD). For stays exceeding 60 days, the D-Type (E-Long Stay) visa is required, with a consular fee of 189.90 USD.

FINANCIAL DETAILS, PROCESSING, AND REQUIRED EVIDENCE

All C-Type applications from Jordan are subject to a uniform administrative 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 up to 180 days from issuance.

Required Evidence List

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

1. Valid Jordanian Passport: Must be valid for at least three months beyond your scheduled departure date, plus a recent digital photo.

2. Confirmed Travel Plan: Confirmed round-trip flight bookings and verifiable accommodation proof for the full duration of your stay.

3. Financial Proof: Official documentation verifying sufficient funds (e.g., bank statements) to cover all expenses throughout your trip.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does holding a US or Schengen visa exempt Jordanian citizens from the C-Type E-Visa?

Yes. Generally, citizens of Jordan who hold a valid, multiple-entry Schengen, US, or UK visa may be exempt from the C-Type E-Visa requirement for short stays. However, always confirm the latest official regulations before traveling.

When does my allowed stay (30-60 days) officially begin?

Your allowed stay officially begins the moment you pass through passport control and receive your entry stamp from the Albanian border authorities.

Can the E-Short Stay visa be extended if my business meeting is delayed?

Extensions for C-Type visas are extremely rare. You must apply for an extension from the local police authority before your granted stay expires, and extensions are typically only granted for severe medical or emergency reasons.
