OFFICIAL ALBANIA C-TYPE E-VISA APPLICATION FOR SOUTH SUDANESE CITIZENS

For citizens of South Sudan planning a short-term visit to Albania, obtaining the C-Type E-Visa is the mandatory travel authorization required before departure. The official digital platform ensures the application process is accessible, requiring organized digital submission from South Sudanese 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 FORMS OF THE C-TYPE VISA: LENGTH VS. PURPOSE

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

Form 1: E-Tourist (Extended Leisure)

This form is suitable for tourism, leisure activities, 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: E-Short Stay (Limited Commitments)

This form is reserved for South Sudanese 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). Processing typically takes 5 to 9 business days. For the D-Type (Long Stay) visa, the fee is 189.90 USD.

KEY DOCUMENTATION AND PROCESS LOGISTICS

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

1. Valid South Sudanese 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.
