Flying in

Please fly into Tirana International Airport (TIA) — the closest airport to the venue and the one we recommend. Select Hill is roughly a forty-minute drive away.

Summer flights to Tirana fill up early and fares climb as the date nears, so we warmly encourage you to book as soon as your plans allow — leaving plenty of time for any visa paperwork (see the Visa section).

Before you travel

Visa Requirements

A quick guide

Do I need a visa?

Category 1 · No visa

No visa required

  • Visa-free nationalities — including the UK, USA, all EU states, Australia, Canada and many others.
  • Or anyone holding a valid, previously-used multiple-entry Schengen, US or UK visa or residence permit, or a 10-year UAE residence permit.

Stay up to 90 days within any 180-day period.

Category 2 · Apply online

Online eVisa required

  • Nationalities that need a visa but can apply through Albania's online eVisa system.
  • The authorisation arrives by email — no embassy visit needed. Apply from outside Albania and allow 15–30 working days.
Apply for your Albanian eVisa
Category 3 · Embassy

Embassy or consulate visa

  • Nationalities not eligible for the online eVisa.
  • Apply in person at the nearest Albanian embassy or consulate.
For our international guests

Not sure where to begin? Many countries don't have a local Albanian embassy — but there's no need to worry. For most travellers the eVisa is completed entirely online and can be done from anywhere, with no in-person visit required.

Whichever route applies to you, please apply as early as you can — processing can take several weeks, and we'd hate for paperwork to hold up your trip.

Before you apply

Important visa notes

  • Payment for a visa application is non-refundable if the application is rejected.
  • Obtaining a visa does not guarantee entry into Albania — final decisions are made at the border.
  • Guests with dual citizenship must apply using the passport they intend to travel with — using a different passport on arrival will invalidate the eVisa.
  • All documents uploaded as part of an application must be in English or Albanian.
  • The standard short-stay visa permits a stay of up to 90 days within any 180-day period.
What to wear

Dress Code

Formal Attire

Formal Cocktail August warmth

We would love our guests to dress in a way that lifts the day — be bold and colourful. Elegant summer tones inspire our wedding colour palette. We would really love for our guests to add to the beauty of our decor by wearing rich, sunset attire that complements our celebration.     

Suggestions

* Strict colours to avoid: white, champagne, tan, eucalyptus, rose gold and gold.

A note on the weather: Early August in Tirana is hot — expect highs of around 28–32°C, so do dress with the heat in mind.
