Do Finland passport holders need a visa to visit AL?

No visa required. Finnish passport holders can enter Albania visa-free for tourism and stay up to 90 days within any 180-day period. As an EU member state, Finland enjoys visa-free access to Albania for short stays. Finnish ordinary passport holders may enter Albania without a visa for tourism, business, or family visits and remain for up to 90 days within any 180-day period, counted from the date of first entry. Albania's visa policy closely mirrors the Schengen Annex II framework, granting visa-free entry to all EU/Schengen nationals. Importantly, Albania is NOT part of the Schengen Area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS authorization do not apply to entering Albania — Albania operates its own independent 90/180 short-stay allowance. ETIAS is a system for non-EU nationals entering the Schengen Area and is irrelevant to a Finnish citizen visiting Albania. Finnish citizens may travel using either a valid passport or a national ID card; the passport must remain valid for at least 3 months beyond the planned departure date from Albania. No advance application, fee, or registration is required for a standard tourist visit. Overstaying the 90-day allowance can result in fines (roughly EUR 100-500) and a potential multi-year entry ban, so travelers should track their days carefully.
