Albania eSIM FAQs
No - the plan’s data and days only start when you arrive in Albania. Installation beforehand simply sets it up for activation on landing.
We recommend installing before departure since you will need WiFi to complete the installation process and this way you will be connected as soon as you land.
If you need help connecting, check our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide or reach out to us.
Your Albania eSIM will start working the moment you land in Albania-it auto-activates if installed prior to departure.
If you install it after arrival, it will connect immediately.
Trouble connecting? Visit our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide or contact us for help.
Your Albania eSIM is designed for use within Albania, so once it's been activated there, it won’t work in other countries.
If you're visiting multiple destinations, a better option might be one of our regional Travel eSIMs that cover entire regions like Europe or Asia.
Definitely. Install your Albania travel eSIM up to 30 days before departure, and it will activate automatically when you arrive.
Installing early won’t consume data or days from your plan until you land in Albania.
If an iPhone shows an activation error when installing abroad, you can safely ignore it - check our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide for guidance.
Yep! 99% of our eSIMs can be topped up within the ZenSim app with just a couple of clicks. If you run out of data, need more days, or you even want to add a new destination to the same eSIM, you can do all of this in the top up section in the Zen Garden in the app.
Log into the app, navigate to the Zen Garden, and you will see a button to tp up your eSIM right there.
Extending a long trip: If you're travelling for more than 30 days, you can add as many top ups as you need to your first eSIM to extend the days and data you have. Each top up will only take effect when the previous eSIM is expired so you can purchase the top ups any time you want without worrying about overwriting your existing plan.
Multi country top ups: You can now add multiple countries to most of our eSIMs via top up, so if you're in Europe for example and are stopping over in Dubai on the way home, you can add a Dubai top up to your Europe eSIM so you don't need to reinstall anything. Alternate country top ups will only activate when you arrive in the new country.
Connectivity Troubleshooting: Check our troubleshooting guide if your eSIM won’t connect. Still stuck? Hit up our support team and we’ll get you back online fast.
eSIM Installation Help: For help setting up your eSIM, visit our installation guide, or simply contact us - we’re happy to assist.

Top 3 things to do in Albania
Discover the Beaches of the Albanian Riviera
The Albanian Riviera is one of Europe’s best-kept secrets. With crystal-clear waters, white sandy beaches, and hidden coves, it’s a paradise for beach lovers. Ksamil, Dhërmi, and Gjipe Beach are some of the top spots, offering everything from lively beach bars to quiet, untouched shores. Snorkel through turquoise waters, enjoy fresh seafood, or simply relax and watch the sun dip below the horizon. The Riviera is also home to vibrant nightlife and charming coastal villages, making it a must-visit destination in Albania.
Explore the Ancient City of Butrint
A UNESCO World Heritage site, Butrint is an archaeological wonder that takes you back in time. This ancient city was once a Greek colony, a Roman town, and later a Byzantine and Ottoman settlement. Wander through the well-preserved ruins, including an amphitheater, basilica, and fortress, while soaking in the peaceful setting surrounded by lush greenery and a tranquil lagoon. The blend of history and nature makes Butrint a fascinating place for history lovers and casual travellers alike, offering a glimpse into Albania’s rich past.
Wander Through Berat, the ‘City of a Thousand Windows’
Berat is an architectural masterpiece and a symbol of Albania’s Ottoman past. Its white-washed stone houses, stacked on the hillsides, give it the nickname ‘City of a Thousand Windows.’ Walk through the cobbled streets, explore the ancient Berat Castle (which still has residents living inside), and visit centuries-old churches and mosques. The city’s riverfront is perfect for an evening stroll, offering stunning views of the historic Gorica Bridge. Whether you're a history buff or simply love picturesque towns, Berat is an unforgettable stop in Albania.
