Austria to Albania visa requirements

Austrian passport holders do NOT need a visa for tourist trips to Albania. They may enter visa-free and stay up to 90 days within any 180-day period. As a citizen of an EU member state, an Austrian ordinary passport holder enjoys visa-free entry to Albania for tourism, business, and short visits. The permitted stay is up to 90 days within any 180-day period. No advance application, eVisa, or visa-on-arrival is required. Entry is granted on arrival at the border simply on presentation of a valid travel document. EU/EEA citizens, including Austrians, may also enter Albania using a national identity card instead of a passport. Albania is NOT part of the Schengen area and is not an EU member, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply to entering Albania itself; however, Albania operates its own analogous 90-days-in-180 limit for visa-free visitors. Travelers should ensure their passport is valid for at least three months beyond the intended date of departure and was issued within the last 10 years. Border officials may not always stamp EU passports, so travelers are responsible for tracking their own 90/180 allowance. Overstaying can result in fines on departure.
