Passport/Visa

Passport/Visa

The visa policy of Albania is closely aligned with the Schengen Area's regulations. It allows 90-day visa-free entry for citizens of Schengen member states, with the exception of individuals from some extra-European territories. Additionally, Albania grants visa-free access to citizens of Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, China, Kazakhstan, Kuwait and Turkey. Notably, citizens of the United States can enter Albania without a visa for up to a year. Individuals holding a valid, multiple-entry visa or residence permit issued by a Schengen Area country, the United States, Cyprus, Ireland, or the United Kingdom can also enter Albania visa-free for up to 90 days within a 180-day period. Your passport must be valid for at least 3 months after the date you leave the Republic of Albania and must have been issued within the last 10 years.

Public Transport

Downtown Tirana is not too big to explore on foot, but you can also use a number of intra-city bus lines going round the city and to and from the shopping centres. The tickets are cheap, but keep in mind that the buses don't go fast. Buses in Tirana run from 6am to 11pm. For longer bus journeys there are shared buses/mini-vans called "furgons" that depart for a destination once they are filled with passengers. Because of the ongoing construction in Tirana the bus and furgon depots change regularly, so it is very important to check the locations with your hotel.
