What to expect
All three reports on file, from 2019 to August 2024, describe entry without problems, but the small number means the pattern is thinly documented.1–3 Two land arrivals from North Macedonia and Montenegro went smoothly, one with a marked passport photocopied and stamped, the other at small crossings with no stamps and one unmanned post.13 The single air report, a 2024 flight into Tirana via Paris and Vienna with an unmarked passport, involved no border issues and no US secondary inspection on return.2
