From Albania to Italy: need a visa?

news that you've read is true, but partly because there is still the definitive abolition of visas for citizens of 'Albania and Bosnia-Herzegovina who wish to move within the Schengen area.

The European Commission presented a proposal with which you want to exempt citizens of Albania and Bosnia-Herzegovina from requiring a visa to stay in Schengen countries for short stays, or for a maximum period of up to 90 days .

What will happen will most likely be the same as what happened about a year ago to the citizens of Serbia, Montenegro and Macedonia.

Exemption of visa is necessary to have a biometric passport.
 
The biometric passport contains within the microchip that stores even fingerprints.

The new rules apply only to leisure travelers, mission, business, study and call for a maximum of three months.

You can move within the Schengen area, all EU countries except Britain and Ireland, as well as Switzerland and Norway and 'Iceland, up to a maximum of 90 days from the date of entry within a period of 180 days (6 months).

This means that you can make more short trips, provided that their total duration does not exceed 90 days within a period of six months (180 days).

The visa exemption will be for those holding a biometric passport, otherwise there can be no exemptions.

Those who are to travel freely within the Schengen countries with biometric passport requirements do not have to demonstrate financial and administrative details but keep in mind that all the standard rules for the entry of third country nationals to enter the Schengen area are still in force.

So it may be that the arrival at the border may be required to produce evidence of funds for travel and living expenses during their stay in the Schengen area or may be required to specify the place of residence.

The border authorities of the Member States of the Schengen area have the right to refuse entry if these conditions are not met, and make the final decision on approving entry into the country.

These new rules apply only to travel, do not give you the opportunity to stay more than 3 months or to find a job, but need to apply for a long-stay visa at the Embassy or Consulate in your destination country.

Then an Albanian citizen who wants to come and work in Italy, it will still pass through the flow decrees and ask for a visa to work.

Those arriving in Italy for stays of up to ninety days must not ask permission to stay, but must inform police.
 
 If you directly in Italy from a country extraue, as long as you do your passport stamped at the border, but if it comes through here from another Schengen country, it must submit a statement to the police presence within eight days after his arrival. For those staying in hotels, campsites and other tourist facilities, the statement is made by the owner of the structure.
