The official MFA regime table lists India ordinary passports as WITH VISA for Albania. Before applying, check the exemptions: holders of a previously-used multiple-entry Schengen, US or UK visa — or a residence permit from one of them — can enter Albania without a visa.
Complete the visa application online while outside Albania, in the official e-Visa system (e-visa.al) — after completion, print and sign the form and upload your supporting documents.
A Consul checks your application form and attached documents. If everything is in order your application is accepted and you are told the fee to pay; if something is missing you are asked to upload the additional document.
Pay the reciprocity-based fee once the Consul accepts your application — for India ordinary passports the Type C fee starts at €15 (single entry).
After acceptance and payment, the visa decision is made — issuance takes up to 15 days from acceptance of the application, and in exceptional cases up to 30 days.
If approved, the Consul requests your presence to retrieve the visa — bring your passport, all original documents you uploaded, the printed and signed application form and the payment invoice. The accredited mission for India is the Embassy of Albania in BEIJING / ABU DHABI / ISTANBUL.

الحصول على موعد — احجز مبكرًا · وفق إفادات المستخدمين، تم التحقق في 2026-06-13
- تُطرح المواعيد على دفعات دون جدول معلن ثابت — غالبًا في الصباح الباكر بالتوقيت المحلي، وصباح الإثنين، وحول اليوم الأول من الشهر.
- في القنصليات المزدحمة (مثل فرنسا وإيطاليا وإسبانيا في المدن الكبرى) قد تُحجز الدفعة خلال دقائق — سجّل وادخل إلى حسابك قبل البحث.
- تتوفّر مواعيد طوال اليوم بسبب الإلغاءات، لذا تحقّق يوميًا حتى لو ظهر «لا توجد مواعيد».
- لذلك قدّم في أقرب وقت مسموح — حتى ستة أشهر قبل السفر. الانتظار حتى شهر أو شهرين غالبًا يعني عدم توفّر أي موعد.
