While standard processing takes 25 -30 Working Days , Albania offers rush and super rush options that can shorten the wait to 20 - 25 Working Days or Super Rush Processing: 18 - 22 Working Days, respectively. However, even with expedited processing, it's wise to apply as early as possible. Remember, these are processing times, not guaranteed delivery times. So, while these options are helpful for tighter schedules, planning ahead is always best.
You should always use the passport you plan to travel with. The information on your eVisa must match the passport you present at the Albanian border. Using a different passport could lead to entry denial, even if you are eligible for visa-free entry with the other passport. It's simply about ensuring consistency.
A slight change in travel dates within the visa's validity period (180 days for most short-stay visas) shouldn't be a problem. However, significantly altering your trip, especially if it extends beyond the allowed 90-day stay within that period, could cause issues. If your plans change drastically, it’s best to contact the Albanian authorities for clarification to avoid potential problems at the border.
Yes, absolutely. Every individual travelling to Albania, regardless of age, requires their own eVisa (or visa-free entry if applicable to their nationality). This includes infants and young children. Each child will need their own application, supporting documents, and passport.
Yes, you can reapply if your eVisa application is rejected. However, it's crucial to understand why your application was denied. Carefully review the reasons provided by the Albanian authorities and address any issues before submitting a new application. This might involve providing additional documentation or clarifying information in your application. It's also worth noting that reapplying doesn't guarantee approval.
