U.S. Embassy Tirana American Citizen Services (ACS) has improved its messaging system.  In addition to issuing emergency messages, security messages, and normal messages (not relating to routine demonstrations) through email, the U.S. Embassy will also utilize SMS technology to send messages.  Whenever the ACS section issues emergency, security, or normal messages, we will send an abbreviated version in a text message to U.S. citizens who have registered via the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program and provided a valid mobile number.  Please add the following number to your contacts – 19028003544 – the ACS section will utilize this number to send text messages.  We encourage all U.S. citizens residing in, or visiting Albania, to update their registration information and include a valid mobile number (Albanian, U.S., or international) in order to take full advantage of this service.   

Information about routine demonstrations are posted on this web page and will not be sent to U.S. citizens via SMS or email.  Please monitor this page regularly for information about demonstration activities in Albania.
