Country context
Ligji 93/2015 (neni 43/1, Ligji 30/2024) requires a categorization certificate and electronic client registration (visitors, nights, nationality, residence, gender, age). Hotels/resorts notify border & migration of alien arrivals/departures under Ligji 79/2021 art. 136. Tirana taksa e fjetjes: 140 / 350 lekë. EU candidate — not EU, not Schengen.
Self check-in works when art. 43/1 client fields (and hotel/resort alien-notice data where applicable) are captured before door codes unlock — categorization is a separate prerequisite.
