Safety and Security

Do not travel.

Albania has now closed all land and sea borders. Air travel to and from Italy and Greece has also ceased. If you chose to travel to Albania despite our advice, note that airports remain open but commercial options are increasingly limited. If you wish to return to Australia, we recommend you arrange to do so immediately. There are restrictions on internal travel within Albania. Other restrictions include the closure of shops, except for food shops and pharmacies, and suspension of public transport in a number of cities. Due to restrictions on movement, our ability to provide consular assistance during this period is likely to be limited. We now advise you to: Do not travel to Albania.
