If your trip is less than 365 days, it isn’t required. When preparing to travel to Albania, double check the expiration date of your current passport if you have one.

If you are planning an extended trip and expect to carry more than 1,000,000 Leke with you, be aware that upon entry and exit, the amount will need to be declared to customs.
