SECURING THE ALBANIA C-TYPE E-VISA FOR MOZAMBICAN CITIZENS: ONLINE REQUIREMENTS

For citizens of Mozambique planning a short-term trip to Albania, securing the C-Type E-Visa is a mandatory requirement for all entry. The convenience of the online application portal allows Mozambican travelers to efficiently obtain their necessary authorization before departing.

This guide outlines the application requirements, clarifies the fees, and emphasizes the critical distinction between the two C-Type options available.

C-TYPE DISTINCTION: TRAVEL PURPOSE DEFINES STAY

The Albanian C-Type visa is strictly for temporary stays. Applicants from Mozambique must select the category that accurately reflects the purpose of their visit, as this choice directly impacts the permitted duration.

Track A: Extended Visits (Leisure)

This track is appropriate for tourists, those visiting family, or anyone engaging in general non-economic activities. It provides the longest duration within the C-Type category.

• Primary Purpose: Vacation, leisure travel, and cultural exploration.

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

Track B: Limited Engagements (Business)

This track is strictly for Mozambican travelers whose trip is necessitated by a precise, time-constrained professional, academic, or urgent commitment.

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

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

Fixed Fees and Long Stays: The administrative fee for either C-Type option is a non-refundable €60 EUR (or 70 USD). For stays exceeding 60 days, the D-Type (E-Long Stay) visa fee is 189.90 USD.

FEES, TIMELINE, AND DOCUMENT CHECKLIST

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

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

• Validity: The electronic visa document grants a total validity window (time to enter Albania) of 60, 90, or 180 days from the date of issue.

Required Documentation Categories

A successful submission requires clear digital copies of the following:

• Identity Proof: A valid Mozambican passport, with validity extending at least three months beyond your scheduled departure date.

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

• Financial Proof: Official documentation demonstrating sufficient funds to support all expenses during your stay.

Frequently Asked Questions

If my E-Visa is rejected, can I appeal or re-apply immediately?

Yes, if your E-Visa is rejected, you will receive a reason. You can typically re-apply once you have corrected the issue (e.g., provided stronger financial proof) and submit a new application, which requires paying the €60 / 70 USD fee again.

What is the specific requirement for financial proof?

Financial proof must clearly show your name, the current date, and a balance sufficient to cover your planned expenses without relying on future income. The statement should be recent (ideally within the last month).

Does the E-Visa guarantee entry into Albania?

No. The E-Visa grants the right to travel to the Albanian border. Final entry is always at the discretion of the border control officer, who may ask further questions or request to see original documents.
