What is an Albania airport transit visa type A?
The Albania Airport Transit Visa Type A is a type of visa that allows travelers to transit through an airport in Albania on their way to another destination. This visa is intended for persons who do not intend to stay in Albania, but must pass through an Albanian airport to reach their final destination.
The letter "A" in the visa type means that it is an airport transit visa. The visa allows the holder to enter and remain in the international transit zone of the Albanian airport until the next flight to their final destination departs. This means that travelers with a type A visa are not allowed to leave the airport and enter Albania during transit.
The transit visa type "A" is issued in the form of a stamped visa or in electronic format and can be issued with one, two or more entries, depending on the needs and specific requirements of the traveler. The validity period and maximum length of stay on a transit visa depends on the traveler's nationality, travel itinerary, and specific Albanian government policies.
You can apply for a transit visa on the website https://e-visa.al/apply , additionally providing the following documents:
- Visa application form filled in by the applicant,
- A 47 mm x 36 mm photo of the applicant,
