How we checkNo visa. German passport holders can enter Albania without a visa for tourist stays up to 90 days.
The German Federal Foreign Office says German nationals need no visa for a tourist stay of up to 90 days. Passport, provisional passport, ID card and child passport are accepted; a provisional ID card is not. Travel documents must still be valid for at least three months on entry, and documents once reported lost or stolen are often confiscated and entry is refused.
