I hold Indian passport and plan to visit Greece and then cross the border by road to Albania and Macedonia

I hold Indian passport and plan to visit Greece and then cross the border by road to Albania and Macedonia - Young couple wearing warm jackets and with paper cups of hot drinks crossing road holding hands and looking at each other

If I tick the multiple entry in the visa application, will I get it? If I enter Macedonia, showing them my exit ticket from Greece would do? There is a rule that states I should hold multi-entry visa and exit once from a Schengen state before visiting Albania/Macedonia. Will I qualify if I exit from Greece and immediately enter Albania/Macedonia?

Sorry for asking so many questions but I cannot find answers anywhere.



Best Answer

Albania seems to require a used multi-entry Schengen Visa C for entry, North Macedonia also (multi is not stated explicitly)

  • could find no working official Albanien / North Macedonia sites to confirm this

so this would be a valid reason to apply for one.

When entering through Greece, the Visa will be considered used.

Based on the available information, I would say yes.
