Visa Status & Eligibility
Visa exemption may apply
Pakistani passport holders who hold a valid, multiple-entry United Kingdom visa that has been previously used in the UK are exempt from the requirement to obtain an Albanian visa for short-stay tourism
Application notes
- Pathway context: Pakistani passport holders with a valid, previously used multiple-entry UK visa are eligible for visa-free entry to Albania for up to 90 days within a 180-day period
