Good to know

Albania's Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs lists foreign nationals who enter and stay in the Schengen Area without a visa among those who enter Albania without a visa; New Zealand citizens are visa-exempt for Schengen short stays (Regulation (EU) 2018/1806, Annex II). Albania's Law No. 79/2021 "On Foreigners" (Art. 29(2), as amended 2025) gives visa-exempt foreigners 90 days within 180 days from entry, unless a bilateral agreement or Council of Ministers decision provides otherwise; after using 90 days you may re-enter once the 180-day period has passed (Art. 29(3)). Register with the local border and migration authority within 10 days of entry as a rule (Art. 29(5)). Passport rule from the same MFA sheet. Albania's per-country visa table (MFA PDF) could not be retrieved; a bilateral agreement could grant a longer stay than shown here, never a shorter one.
