🇹🇩 For a Chad passport

With a Chad passport, Albania requires a visa arranged in advance through an embassy or consulate — this is not something you can sort out on arrival or online, so plan ahead.

You're allowed to stay for 90 days (within 180 days, Type C visa). We don't have a confirmed processing time on file for this one. If you're in a hurry, it's worth checking the official portal directly, since e-visa turnaround can vary by season and by how busy the consulate is.

The fee isn't confirmed on our end yet — it isn't clearly stated on the official government page we checked, or it may vary depending on how you apply. Please treat any fee you see quoted elsewhere (especially from third-party visa resellers) with caution, and confirm the real government fee via the official source link below before paying anyone.

One more thing worth knowing: Chad is not on Albania's visa-free list per the official Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs, so a visa is required; it may be possible to apply online via the official e-visa.al portal, but Chad's eVisa eligibility could not be confirmed from an official source..

This falls under our Europe guides.

Frequently asked questions

How long before my trip should I start the Albania visa process?

Start as early as possible — embassy and consulate visa processing for Albania is not something that can be rushed reliably, and required documents (invitation letters, proof of accommodation, financial statements) can take time to gather. Leaving this until close to your travel date is the single most common cause of missed trips.

Can I get a Albania visa faster if my trip is an emergency?

Some embassies offer expedited or urgent processing for a higher fee, but this isn't universal and isn't guaranteed even when offered. Contact Albania's embassy or consulate directly and ask specifically about emergency processing — don't assume it exists or rely on a third-party site's claim that it does.

Is the information on this page guaranteed to be accurate?

We check what we publish against official sources where we can, and clearly flag anything still pending verification. Even so, visa rules change — sometimes with very little notice — so please treat this page as a strong starting point, not a final word, and confirm directly with the official source linked above before you book or fly.

Before you travel — checklist

Check your passport has enough remaining validity for your trip to Albania — many countries require at least 6 months beyond your travel dates, even for visa-free entry.
Start your visa application process well before your travel date — don't leave this until the last few days.
Note this specific requirement for Albania: Chad is not on Albania's visa-free list per the official Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs, so a visa is required; it may be possible to apply online via the official e-visa.al portal, but Chad's eVisa eligibility could not be confirmed from an official source..
Check whether Albania requires proof of onward or return travel — some border officers ask for this even when it isn't formally listed as a requirement.
Consider travel insurance that covers your trip to Albania, particularly if any medical or emergency evacuation coverage is required or advisable for the region.
