Indonesian passport holders can travel to Albania for tourism or business with an eVisa, which allows a stay of up to 90 days. The eVisa is valid for single entry and must be obtained before you travel. Here's everything you need to know to get through immigration smoothly in 2026.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Albania eVisaYou must secure this eVisa before you fly; it is not available on arrival for Indonesian citizens. Apply online before travel | Indonesian passport holders must obtain an Albania eVisa before arrival. The eVisa permits a stay of up to 90 days within a 180-day period. Apply through the official Albanian eVisa portal well in advance of your trip. | Required |
| Passport validityIf your passport expires sooner, you may be denied boarding or entry. At least 6 months beyond your stay | Your Indonesian passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your intended date of entry into Albania. Ensure your passport does not expire before this period. | Required |
| Blank passport pagesThe border officer needs a clean page to stamp your passport. At least 1 blank page | Your passport must contain at least one blank visa page for the entry stamp. It is advisable to have more than one blank page for any additional stamps. | Required |
| Return or onward ticketYou must show you plan to leave Albania before your visa expires. Proof of departure | Carry a printed or digital copy of your return or onward flight ticket showing departure from Albania within the 90-day allowed stay. Immigration may ask to see it. | Required |
| Proof of fundsHaving proof of funds helps avoid questions at immigration. Sufficient for your stay | Be prepared to show evidence of sufficient funds for your stay in Albania, such as bank statements, credit cards, or cash. The amount is not fixed but should cover accommodation, meals, and expenses. | Recommended |
| Travel health insuranceMedical care can be costly; insurance protects you financially. Recommended coverage | Although not mandatory for the eVisa, it is strongly recommended to have travel health insurance that covers medical expenses and emergencies in Albania. | Recommended |
| Accommodation bookingHaving a place to stay shows you have planned your trip. Hotel or address details | Have a confirmed hotel reservation or the address of where you will stay in Albania. Immigration may request this information upon arrival. | Recommended |
| Arrival declarationYou do not need to fill out any extra arrival form. Not required | Albania does not require a separate arrival declaration for Indonesian passport holders. No additional form is needed beyond the eVisa and passport control. | Not required |
Apply early — don't risk it
eVisa processing can take up to 5 business days, but technical glitches or missing documents can cause delays. Apply at least 2 weeks before your planned departure to avoid last-minute stress.
Entry stamp = your 90 days
Your 90-day stay starts the day you enter Albania, not the day your eVisa is issued. Make sure you leave before the stamp's expiry date — overstaying can lead to fines or a ban.

The eVisa allows a maximum stay of 90 days within a single entry. You cannot extend it while in Albania — if you want to stay longer, you'd need to leave and reapply.
The standard fee is around €50, but it can vary slightly depending on the type of visa and processing speed. You pay online when you submit your application.
Processing usually takes 3–5 business days, but it's wise to apply at least 2 weeks in advance. During peak season, it might take longer.
Yes, the eVisa is valid for entry at any official border crossing — airports, seaports, and land borders. Just present your passport and eVisa at the checkpoint.
