What to do in your first week

Albania Yachting says many guests fly to Corfu and transfer to the port. Others fly to Tirana and drive. Check times and prices on the day.
Type C: 90 days in 180
A 2024 foreign ministry notice says nationals who enter the Schengen area without a visa also enter Albania without one. Their passport must be valid for at least 3 months after they leave and issued within the last 10 years. Those who need a visa get a Type C visa for up to 90 days within 180 days from first entry, valid for up to 5 years, and apply on e-visa.al. A Type D visa covers longer stays where a residence permit needs a visa. Check the current list for your passport.
Charter tax: a 2018 report
SuperyachtNews reported in 2018 that Albanian law lets a yacht start a charter without a tax representative and with no charter tax. No current official page confirms this. Check the current rule with an agent.
