Do Indonesia passport holders need a visa to visit AL?
Indonesian ordinary-passport holders need an Albania e-Visa (Type C) for tourism in 2026. The seasonal visa-free window Albania granted Indonesia in 2025 (15 Apr-31 Dec) was NOT renewed for 2026, so a visa is required. Apply online at the official e-visa.al portal before travel. As of 31 May 2026, holders of an ordinary Indonesian passport require a visa to enter Albania for tourism. Albania's official Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs visa-regime table currently lists only Saudi Arabia and Qatar under the seasonal "tourism only, 15 April-31 December 2026" exemption; Indonesia is no longer included, meaning the visa-free treatment Indonesians enjoyed in 2025 has lapsed. Indonesia is, however, eligible for Albania's online e-Visa system (e-visa.al). The relevant product is the short-stay Type C tourist e-Visa, which permits stays under the Schengen-style 90-days-in-any-180-days formula, can be issued for single, double or multiple entries, and carries an official government fee of about EUR 60. Standard processing is roughly 5-15 working days, occasionally up to 30 days in exceptional cases, so travelers should apply well before departure. There is no visa-on-arrival channel for Indonesian ordinary passports at Albanian border crossings. Note: Albania is NOT in the Schengen Area (it is an EU candidate), so an Albanian e-Visa does not grant Schengen access and ETIAS does not apply to Albania; however, valid multiple-entry Schengen visas/residence permits can be used to enter Albania separately. Conservative guidance: confirm the latest decision directly on punetejashtme.gov.al before booking, as Albania has historically issued annual seasonal exemption decisions that can change.
