Albania Eases Entry for Indian Travellers
Albania is making it easier for people from India to visit.
You don't need a Schengen visa, which can be hard to get.
You can apply for an e-visa online or enter without a visa if you have a valid US, UK, or Schengen visa.
Albania has beautiful beaches, old towns, and mountains.
It's also not very crowded, so it's a good place to visit before more people find out about it.
In 2026, it might get more popular, but right now, it's still affordable and has nice, quiet beaches.
Just remember to carry some cash and euros when you go.
Albania offers easier entry for Indian travellers without requiring a Schengen visa.
Options include an e-visa or visa-free entry with a valid US, UK, or Schengen visa.
Stay duration is up to 90 days within a 180-day window.
Albania features turquoise coastlines, historic towns, and dramatic mountain landscapes.
2026 is projected as a good year to visit before it gets more crowded.
