Thinking about a European escape without dealing with visa paperwork? Albania just dropped the visa requirement for the rest of 2026. Qatari citizens can enter Albania without a visa from April 15 to December 31.
Albania is located just across the Adriatic from Italy, but far less crowded, and prices are noticeably lower. You can focus on the coast, explore the cities, head into the mountains, or just combine all three. And with new visa-free entry to Albania for Qatar citizens, there’s no paperwork needed. You can just book a flight and go.
A few beautiful places to see in Albania:
- Berat, the city of a thousand windows
- Gjirokastër, a UNESCO-listed old town with stone houses
- The Albanian Riviera with beaches and clear water
- Theth & Valbona with mountain trails and dramatic landscapes
- The Blue Eye (Syri i Kaltër), a natural spring with deep blue water
- Osum Canyon with cliffs, hiking routes, and river views
Visa-free entry applies from April 15 to December 31, 2026. If you haven’t planned your 2026 trip yet, Albania is worth considering.
