BORDER CROSSING

As neither Albania nor Montenegro are in the EU, you’ll need to stop at the Albania-Montenegro border for passport inspection. Make sure you’re prepared with your travel documents/visas required for the border crossing.

The passport inspection process on our bus was fairly quick. Everybody was expected to leave their bags on the bus and disembark (unless you had mobility issues). We lined up one by one to get stamped in by immigration, and waited on the other side of the immigration kiosk until the entire bus had been checked. A border patrol officer checked the bus luggage storage compartment to make sure nobody was smuggled in, and the bus was waved through the checkpoint. We got back on the bus, drove ~30 metres to the Montenegrin side, and repeated the process to be stamped into Montenegro.
