Entry Requirements 

Albania and the wider Balkans are welcoming and accessible, but understanding the basic entry requirements before departure ensures a smooth and confident start to your journey. At RakiYa Travel we provide clear guidance to help travelers prepare and navigate border processes with ease.

Passport Validity

All travelers must carry a valid passport when entering Albania and neighboring countries. Passports should be valid beyond the planned departure date, and travelers are advised to check requirements for their nationality well in advance of travel. A passport in good condition is essential, as significant damage may affect entry.

Visa Overview

Many nationalities, including citizens of the European Union, the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom, can enter Albania without a visa for short stays. Visa free travel generally allows a stay of up to 90 days within a 180 day period. Travelers planning longer visits must apply for a long stay visa or a residence permit through the relevant authorities.

If your itinerary includes multiple Balkan countries, entry conditions can vary between borders. Travelers are responsible for ensuring they meet the entry requirements of each country on their itinerary. RakiYa Travel provides guidance on these requirements and recommends reviewing official resources before departure.

Health and Safety Protocols

RakiYa Travel prioritizes the health and safety of all guests. COVID related entry restrictions are currently not in place across Albania and most Balkan countries. Travelers are not required to present vaccination certificates, recovery documentation, or test results. Public health conditions may change, and temporary measures could be introduced in response to evolving situations. Travelers are encouraged to check official government guidance shortly before travel.

Our team works closely with trusted local partners to maintain safe and responsible travel conditions. Guides and accommodations follow local health protocols, ensuring a secure environment throughout every journey.

Customs and Declarations

Travelers are expected to follow local customs regulations when entering any country. Personal items for normal travel use are generally permitted, but some goods, large amounts of cash, medications, or professional equipment may require declaration. Rules vary by country, and enforcement can differ at individual border points.

Important Notes

Entry requirements are set by government authorities and may change without notice. Travelers should consult official embassy or government sources for the most current information. With proper preparation and the guidance of RakiYa Travel, entry into Albania and the Balkans can be straightforward, allowing you to begin your journey with confidence and peace of mind.
