Algeria - Immigration

Apr 06, 2022

Passport must be valid for at least six months beyond your visit.

All nationals require visas except nationals of Libya, Malaysia, Maldives, Mali, Mauritania, Morocco, Seychelles, Syrian, Tunisia and Yemen.

Tourist visas are valid for approximately one month. Visas should be obtained in advance from Algerian diplomatic missions and consulates abroad, preferably in your country of residence. Allow plenty of time for this to be obtained.

Visas cannot be issued on arrival (However, see note above and comments below). If you do not have a visa and wish to leave the port area, you need to ask for a 'permit d'escale'.

There are Algerian consulates in Morocco and Tunisia.

Citizens of Israel, Malawi and Taiwan will be refused entry, and those with stamps from these countries in their passports will have great difficulty obtaining a visa.

Always mention if you have a tourist visa when dealing with any officials.
