United Arab Emirates (Albania): Visa-free · up to 180 days → Visa required

Visa-free · up to 180 days Visa required

Albania is not on the UAE visa-on-arrival list (GDRFA Dubai), so an ordinary Albanian passport needs a UAE visa arranged in advance. Our snapshot wrongly showed 180 days visa-free - a value no UAE source supports. Two independent audits confirmed the omission.
