Filling the 2026 Albania E-Visa Form: A Technical Guide for Oman Citizens
As of January 1, 2026, the temporary visa-free entry for citizens of Oman has concluded. Omani travelers must now utilize the official electronic portal to secure entry before departure. Navigating this digital interface requires precise data entry into specific application "boxes." This guide breaks down the 2026 portal layout to ensure your application passes the automated verification stage without errors.
2026 Processing Fees and Account Activation
The first step in the 2026 portal is creating a verified user profile. For Oman citizens, the administrative fee for a standard tourist e-visa is 60 Euro (approximately 25 OMR). This fee is paid digitally after your initial data entry is reviewed. Processing typically spans 15 working days, but due to the new 2026 regulations, it is wise to submit your form 45 days in advance. For specific pricing on long-stay or business categories, please see our Albania Visa Types and Prices page.
Mastering the Digital Input Fields
The 2026 form is structured into thematic sections. Each "box" must be filled with English characters that exactly match your travel documents.
Section 1: Personal Identity Boxes
In the "Applicant Data" section, precision is mandatory to avoid system mismatches:
Given Names and Surname: These two separate boxes must be filled exactly as they appear in the machine-readable zone of your Omani passport. Do not include titles or honorifics.
Date of Birth: Use the integrated calendar tool to select your birth date; manual typing can sometimes trigger formatting errors.
Place of Birth: This must reflect the city/region listed on your passport, not your current residence in Muscat or elsewhere.
Section 2: Passport and Eligibility Details
The "Travel Document" boxes are the core of your digital identity:
Passport Number: Enter your Omani passport number without spaces or special characters.
Validity Dates: Ensure the "Expiry Date" box shows a date at least 6 months after your planned arrival in Tirana.
Visa Type Selection: Choose "Type C - Short Stay" for tourism. This selection will update the mandatory upload list in the final step.
Section 3: Logistics and Albanian Contact Information
The 2026 system requires verified lodging details in the "Host Information" section:
Host Name: Enter the official registered name of your hotel or the full name of your host.
Albanian Phone Number: A local (+355) contact number is required in this box. Use the hotel’s reception number if you are a tourist.
Physical Address: Provide the complete street address in Albania (e.g., Rruga e Kavajës, Tirana).
Digital Evidence and Document Standards
Once the text boxes are finalized, you must move to the "Evidence" tab. For Oman citizens, the 2026 system requires high-resolution PDF or JPEG uploads:
Financial Transparency: Upload a recent bank statement covering the last 3 months. The system checks for sufficient funds (minimum 50 Euro per day of stay).
Employment Status: A letter from your employer in Oman or business registration documents should be uploaded in the "Occupational Proof" field.
Flight and Stay: Upload confirmed return flight tickets and hotel vouchers that align with the "Arrival" and "Departure" dates you entered in the form boxes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if the portal doesn't accept my Omani phone number?
In the "Personal Data" section, ensure you use the international format (+968) without the leading "00." For the "Host" section, however, you must provide a local Albanian number as explained above.
Can I travel to Albania in 2026 if I have a valid Schengen visa?
If you hold a valid, multiple-entry Schengen, UK, or USA visa that you have already used at least once, you may still be eligible for a visa-free entry. However, you must enter the details of that visa into the "Other Visas" box in the portal to confirm your status before flying.
How do I receive my 2026 e-visa?
The final approved visa is delivered as a PDF via email. In 2026, it is highly recommended to print this document in color and keep it with your passport, as digital-only versions may cause delays at airport check-in.
Final Submission Check
Before clicking "Submit," use the "Preview" function to review every text box. Ensure the "Passport Number" and "Name" fields are error-free. Once the 60 Euro fee is paid, these fields are locked for processing.
