You live in Syria on another passport?

Filing usually still happens from your country of residence, at the post competent for it, but the requirement itself comes from your passport.

Common mistakes
Unofficial websites present themselves as visa services and charge extra fees, so make sure you are on the portal of the Albanian authorities before paying. Typing errors and illegible documents are another frequent cause of refusal or delay. Finally, do not count on a visa on arrival: this option is not open to Syrian citizens, who must board with an approved e-Visa.
