Saudi citizens will currently have the capacity to make a trip to Albania without a visa until October 2019, an ongoing declaration by the nation's diplomat to Saudi Arabia Sami Shiba uncovered. 

From April 1 to Oct. 31 this year, Saudis — just as natives from Bahrain and Oman — will just need an international ID to make a trip toward the southern European nation and are not required to apply for a visa. 

Shiba said that following the visit of Albania's head administrator Edi Rama to the Kingdom in February, relations between his nation and Saudi Arabia were "exceptionally great," and that both had inked various arrangements focused on reinforcing ties, incorporating into the travel industry division. 

"We are chipping away at pulling in Saudi carrier organizations to give a non-stop departure from Riyadh and Jeddah to Tirana, which will in the long run encourage and energize Saudi sightseers and guests to find and appreciate Albania," Shiba said.
