What is the Albania e-Short Stay Visa?

The e-Short Stay Visa (also known as a Type C Visa) is an official electronic document that permits you to enter and stay in Albania for a temporary period. It is the perfect solution for travelers who need to enter the country for a specific, short-term purpose.

This visa is suitable for:

Who Needs to Apply for an e-Short Stay Visa?

You are required to apply for an e-Short Stay Visa if you are a citizen of a country that does not have a visa-free travel agreement with the Republic of Albania. If your travel purpose is tourism or another short-term activity, you must secure this visa before you begin your journey.
