Documents Required for Albania Passport in 2023
The visa-free countries and visa-on-arrival countries can be visited with an Albanian passport but you should always carry a few very common documents required on arrival at the airport. These documents are basically travel requirements by most countries and you should have these documents to avoid the hassle of being denied entry at the landing country.
- Passport valid for 6 months
- Return or onward ticket
- Hotel booking for the entire stay
- Cash $50 USD per day
- Visa fee (If applicable)
These are general requirements for Albanian citizens. Some countries may have placed additional requirements for citizens of Albania. Therefore, I recommend visiting the website of that visa free country or visa-on-arrival country to see the latest document requirements for Albanian passport holders before you can start your journey to that country.
