Border crossings of Albania

Border crossings (Albanian: Vendkalimet kufitare) in the Republic of Albania are defined as boundary checkpoints that serve to control the flow of people and goods from neighbouring countries to and from Albania.

These checkpoints are administered by the border police authorities that record the entry and exit of each person and vehicle followed by the customs authorities that record the entry and exit of goods and cash.

This article outlines a complete list of Albania's international border crossings, including land, sea and air entry points.

Visitors entering the country from outside for any reason, tourism or otherwise, were immediately suspect and closely monitored.
