Albania lifts the visa regime during the summer season for a group of passport holders that are required a visa if they visit out-of-season.
Starting April 1st, citizens of Russia, Saudi Arabia, Belarus, Qatar, Oman, Thailand, Bahrain, and China can travel visa-free to Albania until 31 October 2019. The decision was adopted by the Albanian Council of Ministers during a meeting held in late February and came into effect after its publication on the Official Gazette.
