C-TYPE E-VISA TRACKS: PURPOSE AND DURATION

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

Track A: Extended Leisure (E-Tourist)

This track is appropriate for general holidays, tourism, 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.

Track B: Essential Commitments (E-Short Stay)

This track is strictly for Venezuelan 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.
