Why this verdict
Albanian citizens are encoded from the Hong Kong Immigration Department source set. Source row/route: ALBANIA (holders of Albanian biometric passports only). This destination-wave matrix record is intentionally conservative: ordinary passport, short visitor travel only. Work, study, residence, employment, establishing or joining a business, special travel documents, diplomatic/service passports, airline handling, route-specific transit and Hong Kong immigration discretion can change the practical answer. Reconfirm on the official Hong Kong Immigration Department source before booking.
