Albania e-Visa Categories
To keep your application process clear, we focus on the simplified digital categories available on the official portal. For visitors from Angola, the primary options are:

Currency and Financial Tips: Kwanza to Albanian Lek
While you use the Angolan Kwanza (AOA) at home, you will be using the Albanian Lek (ALL) during your stay. While card payments are growing in Tirana's modern districts and upscale hotels, Albania remains a cash-oriented society. Cash is essential for local markets, traditional taverns, and rural guesthouses.
We strongly suggest carrying Euros or US Dollars to exchange upon your arrival, as they are the most widely recognized foreign currencies in the country. To learn more about secure financial planning, please visit our Payment Guidelines page.
