Albanian standard ordinary biometric passports: French West Indies visa-free visit
Both current French West Indies Annex II rule families waive Albanian biometric passports, and Albania's current ordinary-passport population is entirely biometric.
- FW is the intersection of Guadeloupe, Martinique, Saint-Martin and Saint-Barthélemy. Each current Annex II waives Albanian biometric passport holders for a short visitor stay.
- Albania's ordinary passport is statutorily biometric. Any non-biometric ordinary document pre-dates the 2010 biometric regime and cannot survive its five- or ten-year statutory term on 25 August 2026; later emergency or accelerated ordinary issuance is biometric.
- The uniform short-stay cap is 90 days in any 180-day period. Work, residence, transit, Schengen travel, special travel documents, passport validity and final admission are outside this policy.
