Step-by-step: how to apply from Nepal

1. Confirm the visa type and current requirements on the official portal (https://e-visa.al/apply (official Albania e-Visa portal — primary channel for Nepali applicants) · https://punetejashtme.gov.al/en/visa-information/ (Albanian MFA — visa policy + categories) · https://albanian-evisa.com (often-confused mirror — DO NOT USE; only e-visa.al is the authoritative portal)).
2. Gather and scan your documents; book your appointment at e-Visa Albania (online — no physical centre in Nepal) or start the online form.
3. Prepare proof of onward travel and accommodation — many applicants use Yatra's verifiable reservations rather than buying non-refundable bookings before approval.
4. Pay the visa fee, submit (and give biometrics if required), then track your application.
