Albania is quickly becoming a must-visit destination for travelers from Southeast Asia, offering a unique blend of Mediterranean coastline and deep historical roots. For citizens of Myanmar, trading the golden pagodas of Yangon or the serene landscapes of Inle Lake for the historic "City of a Thousand Windows" in Berat or the crystal-clear waters of the Ionian Riviera is an adventure of a lifetime.

How to Travel from Myanmar to Albania: Flight Routes
Traveling from Yangon International Airport (RGN) to Tirana (TIA) involves connecting through major international aviation hubs. The most convenient and popular route for Myanmar citizens is typically flying via Istanbul (IST) with Turkish Airlines or Pegasus, which offers reliable connectivity and a smooth transit into the heart of the Balkans.
Other excellent options include connecting through Dubai (DXB) with Emirates or flydubai, or via Bangkok (BKK). These routes provide several scheduling options, ensuring a comfortable gateway from Southeast Asia into the Balkan Peninsula.

Currency and Financial Tips: Kyat to Albanian Lek
While you use the Myanmar Kyat (MMK) at home, the official currency you will use in Albania is the Albanian Lek (ALL). It is important to know that while card payments are common in Tirana's modern establishments, Albania is still very much a cash-oriented society, especially in local markets, traditional cafes, and rural mountain areas.
We strongly suggest carrying Euros for exchange upon your arrival, as it is the most widely recognized foreign currency across the country. To learn more about secure payment handling and financial tips, please visit our Payment Guidelines page.
