Tourists Continue to Benefit from Visa-Free Access in Belarus
No More Free Passes: Albania's Visa Policy Changes for Belarusians
Listen up, folks! The party's over for Belarusian travelers heading to Albania. While for now, Belarusians can still jet-set to Albania without a visa, the good times will end soon, brother!
Hit up the Albanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs website, and you'll find out that Belarusians can hang out in the Balkans until September 30, 2025, without a visafestpass required. But don't get too excited — that free stay is limited to 30 days, chum.
Now, remember when Belarusians could shook things up in Albania for up to 90 days within a year? Those days are long gone.
Here's where things get messy: Back in late April, the Albanian Council of Ministers decided to give the axe to the visa waiver agreement with Belarus. But don't worry, it won't kick in until April 24, 2025—still plenty of time for Belarusians to savor their final Albania adventures.
Life ain't always about leisure, right? So, what about loans and money matters while you're vacationin' it up in Albania? Check out the hottest deals on consumer loans, business loans, mortgages, deposits, and more! Plus, you can swipe your credit or debit card with confidence, or roll in style with services for leasing new, used, or business cars.
But wait! It's time to get real. After September 30, 2025, Belarusians will have to get their visa applications in check to enter Albania. Prepare yourself for a mountain of paperwork, like your valid passport, passport-size photos, round-trip flight reservations, proof of accommodation, travel health insurance, and proof of financial means.
Don't sweat it, though. The Albanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs will fill you in on the ins and outs of that pesky visa application process. And remember, the official website will be your go-to source for any future changes in visa policies. So, mark your calendar for September 30, 2025, folks! After that, the free ride comes to an end, and it's time to start paying up.
Pro Tip : Make sure your passport doesn't expire within the next three months after your intended stay in Albania. It'll save you a heap of headaches!
