Plan the national formalities before reaching the port.
International arrivals and departures
Albania is outside the EU and Schengen Area. International yacht movements must undergo border checks through an authorised sea border point.
Five yacht-relevant border ports
Shengjin, Durres, Vlore, Himare and Sarande are published as unrestricted international sea border points. Confirm yacht berthing and authority attendance before arrival.
Restricted maritime border points
Albania also lists Limion for cargo vessels and crews, Porto Romano for fuel transport and Petrolifera as an industrial fuel terminal. These are not presented as general leisure-yacht entry destinations.
Other coastal locations
Orikum, Porto Palermo and Ksamil are service areas, not independent border points. Coordinate first entry or final exit through an official port.
Customs status
Foreign yachts and goods aboard are subject to Albanian customs supervision. Temporary admission may apply, but no universal yacht-specific duration is promised here.
Passports and visas
Every person aboard must meet Albania's current passport and visa rules. Check the Foreign Ministry's live nationality guidance before travel.
Local confirmation
Confirm the authority sequence, agent requirement, berth, fees and timing for the specific yacht and port.
