Albania citizens can enter Slovakia without a visa and stay for up to 90 days. You only need a valid Albania passport at the border; immigration officers may still ask for a return or onward ticket, proof of accommodation and enough money for your stay. The 90-day limit usually counts calendar days from your arrival, so book your return flight inside that window.
Whatever your visa status, Slovakia applies the same entry conditions to every traveller:
Slovakia lets 93 passports in without a visa and requires an embassy visa from 105. Albania citizens are treated the same way as Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Bulgaria. Overall the Albania passport ranks #87 in the world with 74 visa-free destinations.
Planning a longer trip in Europe? With a Albania passport you can also visit 44 countries in the region without a visa, including Andorra, Armenia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Belgium, Bulgaria and Belarus.
In the other direction, Slovakia citizens can visit Albania visa-free for up to 90 days.
