Do China passport holders need a visa to visit AL?

Chinese ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa for Albania. Under the reciprocal China-Albania visa-waiver agreement (signed January 2023), you can enter visa-free and stay up to 90 days within any 180-day period for tourism or short visits. Just present a valid passport at the border. Albania is visa-free for holders of ordinary Chinese (PRC) passports. The basis is the "Agreement on the reciprocal waiver of visas for holders of public-official and ordinary passports" signed by China and Albania on 16 January 2023, which permits visa-free stays of up to 90 days within a 180-day period. This permanent, year-round arrangement replaced and superseded the earlier seasonal (1 April - 31 October) visa waiver that Albania had unilaterally extended to Chinese tourists in prior years. No visa, eVisa, or visa-on-arrival is required. At the border, travelers should be ready to show a passport valid for the duration of stay (6 months recommended), proof of onward/return travel, proof of accommodation, and evidence of sufficient funds. Visa-free entry is for tourism and short visits only; paid work, study, or stays beyond 90 days require an appropriate residence/work permit or long-stay (Type D) visa. There is no entry fee. Verified against the China central government announcement, the Wikipedia visa policy of Albania tracker, and VisaGuide.World reporting on the agreement.
