Tips for Albania travelers

  • Apply well in advance: It is recommended to apply at least 2 weeks before your intended travel date to allow for any unforeseen delays.
  • Common rejection reasons: Incomplete or inaccurate information in the application form, invalid passport, insufficient funds proof (if requested), or if the purpose of travel does not align with the visa type applied for. Ensure all uploaded documents are clear and legible.
  • VFS/BLS vs direct embassy application: For Myanmar, the primary and recommended method for Albania citizens is the online e-Visa system. There are no official VFS/BLS centers for Myanmar visa applications for Albania citizens. Direct application at an embassy is generally not the standard procedure for e-Visa eligible nationalities.
  • Current travel advisories: Always check the latest travel advisories issued by your country's foreign ministry or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Albania regarding Myanmar before planning your trip. The political situation in Myanmar can be volatile.
  • Extension options inside Myanmar: Visa extensions can be applied for at the Visa Extension Division of the Immigration Department in Yangon. However, extensions are not guaranteed and depend on the prevailing immigration policies and the reason for extension. Tourist visa extensions are generally difficult to obtain for short stays.
