Aevamo’s reading
Law 79/2021 is the statute that makes a valid entry visa the general condition for a foreigner entering Albania (art. 6(1)(b)) and vests in the Council of Ministers the power to approve the visa-free country list (art. 29(1)); VKM 858/2021 is its implementing regulation, which is why the rows cite the VKM for the lists and the Law for the underlying obligation and duration.
This is the Council of Ministers decision, gazetted in Fletorja Zyrtare nr. 73 of 2025, suspending the Albania–Belarus agreement on the reciprocal abolition of visa requirements that VKM nr. 152 of 19.2.2020 had approved. That agreement is the source of the visa exemption Belarusian nationals held, so once it is suspended the exemption is gone and the general visa obligation of Law 79/2021 art. 6(1)(b) applies to them. The ellipses mark the second column of the two-column gazette page, not omitted words of this decision.

How the documents behind this regime are dated
VKM 858/2021 consolidated through VKM nr. 279, datë 21.5.2025 (the NATLEX copy marks itself 'I përditësuar'); the original decision is dated 29.12.2021 and the copy therefore cannot report anything after May 2025. Law 79/2021 dated 24.6.2021, gazetted in Fletorja Zyrtare nr. 162 of 2021. VKM nr. 160 dated 19.3.2026. VKM nr. 236 dated 24.4.2025, in Fletorja Zyrtare nr. 73 of 24 April 2025, electronically sealed by the Qendra e Botimeve Zyrtare that day. VKM nr. 470 dated 17.7.2024. MFA Notice nr. 13471 dated 24.9.2025. The ministry's visa-regime page carries a 2026 copyright line and states the 15 April - 31 December 2026 seasonal window; the ministry's country table PDF is dated 18.09.2024; it is cited for one entry only — the UAE's 'PA VIZË' short-stay cell — and the ministry's live 2026 table carries the identical entry, so that entry is not superseded. The seasonal entries in the same table are tied to a window that ended on 31.12.2024 and are not relied on.

What this answer covers Limits & assumptions
Work and residence rights are separate from this check. This is the entry rule and the length of stay the instrument grants. It is not a decision about you: the officer at the border decides admission, and we do not evaluate the purpose of your trip, your passport's remaining validity, an onward ticket, funds, insurance or health requirements.
