Albania Tourist Stay
Typical max stay
12 months
Albania grants 1 year visa-free entry for US/UK/EU citizens — among the longest in Europe. Non-Schengen, so doesn't burn the 90/180 budget. Longer stays require the Unique Permit (residency permit) — application takes 4-6 weeks.

Editorial pick based on which app actually has restaurants AND working couriers in this city. Coverage shifts — apps pull out of markets all the time.
Bolt
Bolt is the only meaningful ride-hailing app in Albania; otherwise it's traditional taxi stands in Tirana.
Editorial pick based on coverage, foreign-card UX, and how reliably drivers actually accept trips. Markets shift — apps pull out of countries and surge pricing varies wildly.
