Why this verdict

Albanian citizens are encoded as visa-required because the official Mali MDC checker returned a visa-required alert in the ordinary-passport visitor flow. The checker country value used for this passport is "Albanie". This destination-wave matrix record is intentionally conservative: ordinary passport, short tourism/visitor travel only. Work, study, residence, diplomatic/service passports, special travel documents, security restrictions, airline checks, health rules, consular-depot handling and border discretion can change the practical answer. Reconfirm with Mali's official missions portal or a Malian mission before booking.

Conditional rules

Traveller belongs to a no-visa cohort named by Mali or ECOWAS rules Visa-free

Mali's official mission visa page names ECOWAS citizens and several non-ECOWAS nationalities as no-visa cohorts; this row is for passports not classified into those cohorts in the launched-passport matrix.
Trip is work, study, residence, diplomatic/service passport, official duty or another non-tourist short visit Visa required

This row covers ordinary-passport visitor travel only. Use the relevant Malian mission, visa or residence route for non-tourist, residence or special-document travel.
Traveller lacks required documents, health evidence, route proof, funds, accommodation or carrier clearance Conditional

Malian missions, carriers and border officials can require additional evidence and retain final authority.
