Typical payment pattern: Albania does not present a single nationwide diver tag or mandatory national marine pass in the way some island destinations do.

What people usually pay

Albania does not present a single nationwide diver tag or mandatory national marine pass in the way some island destinations do. What matters more is visa status, site-specific tickets such as Butrint, and whether marine-park access is bundled through a licensed operator. For Karaburun-Sazan, the critical issue is zone compliance rather than buying a generic diver permit at the gate.

Type C visa, if required	Varies by nationality and case Up to 90 days within 180 days	-	Albania e-visa system or official diplomatic channel	Check the Albanian Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs before travel. Some passports are visa-free, while others need a standard short-stay visa with supporting documents.

Marine park access via operator	Usually included in trip price Per trip	-	Local dive center or licensed boat operator	I did not find a publicly posted general visitor diver tag for Karaburun-Sazan during this research. Confirm what is included in your operator package and which zones are legally open for your planned activity.
