Mistake on Your Approved Albania E-Visa? Here’s What to Do (2025)

You’ve received the email you’ve been waiting for: your Albania e-visa application has been approved! It’s a moment of excitement and relief. But as you review the official e-visa document, your heart sinks—you spot a mistake. A typo in your name, a wrong digit in your passport number, or an incorrect date of birth. What now? First, don't panic. Second, it's crucial you take immediate action. This guide will explain exactly what to do if you find an error on your approved visa.

The Golden Rule: Do NOT Travel with a Flawed E-Visa

This is the most important rule: never attempt to travel with an e-visa that contains incorrect information, no matter how small the error seems.

Airlines are required to verify that the information on your visa matches your passport before they allow you to board. Even a one-letter difference in a name or a single incorrect digit in a passport number can create a mismatch in the system. This can lead to being denied boarding by the airline or being refused entry by immigration officials upon arrival in Albania. It is a risk you should not take.

Your Step-by-Step Guide to Correcting the Error

Fixing the error is usually a straightforward process, but speed is essential. Follow these steps as soon as you discover the mistake.

Step 1: Verify the Error Against Your Passport

Carefully take your passport and compare it, character by character, with the details on your approved e-visa document. Pinpoint the exact error. Is it your given name, surname, passport number, date of birth, or nationality? Being able to clearly identify the mistake is the first step to getting it fixed.

Step 2: Contact Our Support Team Immediately

This is a high-priority issue. You must contact our support team without delay. When you write to us, please provide the following to speed up the process:

Your Full Name and Application ID in the subject line.
A clear description of the incorrect information as it appears on the visa.
The correct information as it appears on your passport.
A screenshot or copy of your e-visa with the error highlighted can also be helpful.

You can find our contact details on our homepage.

Step 3: Understand the Correction Process

Once we receive your request, our team will verify the error. The standard procedure is to void the incorrect e-visa in the official system and re-issue a new, corrected e-visa. We prioritize these cases to ensure your travel plans are not affected.

Where Did the Error Come From?

Transparency is important. An error on an approved visa typically happens for one of two reasons. It might be a rare typo made during the data processing stage. More commonly, the error on the final visa is the same one that was present in the original application. That’s why it's so important to double-check everything before you submit, as explained in our guide on what to do if you've made a mistake on your Albania e-visa application. Regardless of the source, the correction process remains the same.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Will I have to pay the visa fee again for the correction?

For minor corrections, you will generally not be required to pay the full visa fee again. If the error was a result of our processing, there is absolutely no charge. If the error was present on your original application, it is typically corrected as a courtesy, but a small administrative fee may apply in rare cases of major errors.

My flight is tomorrow! Can this be fixed urgently?

We understand the urgency of last-minute travel plans. If your flight is within 48 hours, please mark your email to our support team as "URGENT" in the subject line. These cases are given the highest priority, and we will do everything we can to expedite the re-issuance of your corrected e-visa.

What's the most common mistake to check for on an approved e-visa?

Always double-check the most critical data points first: your passport number, your full name (exactly as it appears on your passport), your date of birth, and your nationality. These are the details that are electronically checked against your passport by airlines and immigration.
