Which countries are visa-free for citizens of Albania?
The Mobility Score is used to rank passports. The Passport Power Rank is determined by the Mobility Score. The higher the Mobility Score, the higher the Passport Power Rank. The Welcoming Countries Score (WCS) ranks countries based on the number of visa-free or visa-on-arrival passports they accept.
Albanian passport holders can receive a visa on arrival or electronic travel permission to visit a nation (eTA). There are 82 Albania passport visa-free countries, 32 Albania visa-on-arrival countries, and 1 eTA destination at the moment.
Albanian passport holders can visit a total of 115 countries, either without a visa, with a visa on arrival, or with an electronic travel authorization (eTA). As a result, Albania’s passport is currently ranked 52 in the world.
Aside from these Albania visa-free and visa-on-arrival countries, Albania passport holders must also obtain a physical visa or an eVisa to visit 114 additional countries (i.e. visa required countries).
