Malaysia is visa-free for Albania passport holders
Good news: Albania citizens do not need a visa to enter Malaysia for short tourist or business stays. You can board a flight with just a valid passport.
How long can Albania citizens stay?
Visa-free stays in Malaysia typically last up to 90 days within a 180-day period for tourism, family visits, or short business trips. Always confirm the exact allowance with the Malaysia embassy before you travel, as bilateral agreements occasionally change.
What you still need at the border
- A Albania passport valid for at least 6 months beyond your planned exit date.
- Proof of onward or return travel.
- Evidence of accommodation (hotel booking or host address).
- Proof of sufficient funds for the duration of your stay.
- Travel insurance (recommended, sometimes required).
When you do need a visa
A visa is required only if you intend to work, study, or stay longer than the visa-free allowance. In that case, apply for the appropriate long-stay visa at the Malaysia embassy or consulate in Albania before you travel.
Disclaimer: Visa requirements can change at short notice. Verify the latest rules with the official Malaysia embassy or consulate before you travel. Last reviewed: June 2026.
