Travel preparation checklist
Check each item’s requirement level and the conditions that apply.
Your circumstances may require additional documents. Ticks track preparation, not eligibility or admission.
Entry conditions and exceptions
Check whether these rules affect your eligibility, application, or arrival.
Apply where you usually live
The ministry directs applicants to the consulate for their habitual residence. If you hold another nationality in that country, bring your residence card and a copy. Consular fees vary by nationality and reciprocal waivers may apply.
Official guidanceSeparate visa validity from stay limits
The ministry lists several visa-validity products, a maximum 90-day stay on each entry and no more than 180 actual days in a year. Your issued visa or border permission may allow less; verify how repeat visits count.
Official guidanceConditional southern organized-tour route
An accredited Algerian travel agency can arrange a boarding authorization for an organized itinerary including a listed southern province; the embassy describes a visa issued at the border for this specific program. Do not use it for an independent or unrelated Algeria trip, and confirm your eligibility with the agency and carrier.
Official guidanceBefore and during your visit to Algeria
Obtain the agency authorization before boarding
For the exceptional southern-tour route, the accredited agency enters the itinerary and provides the authorization used to travel. A general promise of visa on arrival without that approval is not enough.
