Albania
Travel Guide
ENTRY AND EXIT REQUIREMENTS: A passport is required. All
travelers entering or exiting Albania must have six months or more validity
on their passport. Customs officers strictly enforce this law. A traveler
does not have to obtain a visa prior to entering Albania. An entry card
will be issued at the point of entry that is valid for a stay of up to 30
days for a fee of ten Euros, or the equivalent in any easily convertible
currency, including U.S. dollars. An extension of up to 60 days (90 days
total) may be obtained by applying at the local police station. For stays
exceeding 90 days, those interested must apply for a Residency Permit at the
police station with jurisdiction over the city of residence. Information on
how to apply for a residency permit is available on the Embassy of Albania's
website at www.albaniaembassy.org.
There is also a departure fee of ten Euros, or the equivalent in any easily
convertible currency, including U.S. dollars. Visit the Embassy of
Albania's website at
www.albaniaembassy.org for the most current visa information.

Dual Nationality: The Albanian government considers any person in Albania
of Albanian parents to be an Albanian citizen. In addition to being subject
to all Albanian laws affecting U.S. citizens, dual nationals may be subject
to Albanian laws that impose special obligations. Male Albanian citizens
are subject to compulsory military service regulations. If such persons are
found guilty of draft evasion in Albania, they are subject to prosecution by
the Albanian court. Those who might be affected should inquire at an
Albanian Embassy or Consulate outside Albania regarding their status before
traveling. In some instances, dual nationality may hamper U.S. Government
efforts to provide protection abroad.

MEDICAL FACILITIES AND HEALTH INFORMATION: Medical
facilities and capabilities in Albania are limited beyond rudimentary first
aid treatment. Emergency and major medical care requiring surgery and
hospital care is inadequate due to lack of specialists, diagnostic aids,
medical supplies, and prescription drugs. Travelers with previously
diagnosed medical conditions may wish to consult their physicians before
travel. As prescription drugs may be unavailable locally, travelers may
also wish to bring extra supplies of required medications.
Information on vaccinations and other health precautions, such as safe
food and water precautions and insect bite protection, may be obtained from
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s hotline for international
travelers at 1-877-FYI-TRIP (1-877-394-8747)

MEDICAL INSURANCE:
The Department of State strongly urges Americans to consult with their
medical insurance company prior to traveling abroad to confirm whether their

a medical evacuation.
