Step by step
How Albanian citizens enter Israel
Check your passport is valid for the whole trip. Many countries also want it valid for a period beyond your departure date, so confirm the exact rule on the official page below.
Apply online before you travel and wait for approval. Book nothing that you cannot change until the approval arrives.
Carry proof of onward or return travel and of where you are staying. Border officers ask for both, and an airline can refuse boarding without them.

Avoid Some Regions
UK FCDO: The FCDO advises against all travel to Gaza, to areas within 500m of the Gaza border, to the Tulkarm, Jenin, and Tubas governorates of the West Bank other than Route 90, to northern Israel and the occupied Golan Heights north of Route 89 and Route 91, and to areas within 500m of the Area of Separation. It advises against all but essential travel to the remainder of the West Bank, excluding East Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Ramallah, and certain highways. Strikes and retaliatory attacks involving Iran have continued since July, bringing a risk of rocket and drone attacks, falling shrapnel from interceptions, and border closures at short notice.
