Do Brazil passport holders need a visa to visit AL?

No. Brazilian ordinary passport holders can enter Albania visa-free for tourism for up to 90 days within any 180-day period. No visa, eVisa, or pre-arrival authorization is required. Brazilian citizens holding an ordinary passport do not need a visa to visit Albania for tourism or other short stays. They may enter and remain visa-free for up to 90 days within any 180-day period, an exemption Albania grants in alignment with its Schengen-area visa-liberalisation regime. Albania is NOT a member of the Schengen Area or the European Union, so the EU ETIAS authorization does not apply to entry into Albania, and the 90/180 count is tracked separately from Schengen. On arrival, travelers should carry a passport valid for the duration of stay (generally recommended valid at least 3 months beyond intended departure, with 6 months advised for buffer), proof of onward or return travel, evidence of sufficient funds, and accommodation details. Border officers may ask for these even though no visa sticker is needed. Stays beyond 90 days require a residence permit or a long-stay visa (type D) obtained in advance. As of 30 May 2026, both the Albanian Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs visa regime and the published visa policy confirm this visa-free channel for Brazil. No fee applies for visa-free tourist entry.
