ALBANIA C-TYPE E-VISA APPLICATION FOR BURMESE CITIZENS: DETAILED GUIDE

For citizens of Myanmar (Burma) planning a short-term visit to Albania, obtaining the C-Type E-Visa is the mandatory travel authorization required before departure. The official online platform ensures the application process is accessible and streamlined for Burmese travelers.

This guide clarifies the essential requirements, outlines the financial commitment, and defines the two distinct stay durations available under the C-Type visa.

THE TWO C-TYPE VISA FORMS: DURATION AND PURPOSE

The Albanian C-Type visa is strictly limited to temporary stays. Applicants from Myanmar must choose the category that aligns precisely with their purpose, as this choice determines the maximum time they are legally allowed to remain in Albania.

Form 1: The E-Tourist Visa (Extended)

This form is suitable for leisure activities, tourism, and non-commercial visits to family or friends. It provides the longest duration for short-term stays.

• Primary Purpose: Tourism, vacation, and general sightseeing.

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

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

This form is reserved for Burmese travelers with specific, short-term professional, commercial, or official obligations that require only a brief presence.

• Primary Purpose: Business meetings, short training, or participation in limited events.

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

Fees and Processing: The administrative fee for either C-Type option is a fixed €60 EUR (approximately 70 USD). For the D-Type (Long Stay) visa, the fee is 189.90 USD. Processing typically takes 5 to 9 business days.

LOGISTICS: REQUIRED EVIDENCE AND PROCESSING

A successful application relies on the clear digital submission of the following:

1. Valid Myanmar Passport: Must be valid for at least three months beyond the date you intend to leave Albania.

2. Financial Proof: Official documentation demonstrating sufficient funds to cover your entire trip expenses.

3. Travel Itinerary: Confirmed round-trip flight bookings and verifiable proof of accommodation for your entire stay.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Your allowed stay expires at midnight on the final day granted on your E-Visa document. Overstaying this deadline, even by one hour, is a serious violation.

Is holding a long-term Schengen visa sufficient for entry?

In general, citizens of Myanmar holding a valid, multiple-entry Schengen, US, or UK visa may be granted short-term visa-free entry to Albania. However, this is subject to official policy changes, so it is highly recommended to check the status just prior to travel.

Do I need to print my E-Visa document?

Yes. Although the visa is electronic, you must print the approved document and carry it with your passport to show airline staff and Albanian border control.
