Albania offers multiple e-Visa (an online travel document) types for travellers seeking a short-term stay in the country. Under Albania’s visa policy, short-stay e-Viisas are issued under the Type C visa category.
However, before applying for the short-stay e-Visa, the traveller must check whether their country is on the list of countries eligible for the Albania e-Visa.
According to the Albanian visa policy, individual applications are not permitted. At least two travellers must apply together to proceed with the Albania e-Visa application.
A visa for short-term travel to Albania for tourism, including holidays, sightseeing, or visiting friends and family, without permission to work or stay long-term.
A short-term visa for individuals travelling to Albania to take part in scientific, cultural, sports, or humanitarian activities, without permission for employment or long-term residence.
This visa is intended for official authorities or authorised representatives travelling to Albania for official duties, including diplomatic engagements, official meetings, or state-related events.
This visa is issued to applicants travelling to Albania for short-term medical purposes, including consultations, treatments, or medical procedures.
An Albanian short-stay visa (Type C) is generally non-extendable; travellers must exit the country before their e-Visa expires and reapply to enter again or apply for a long-stay visa to extend their stay.
