The official Algeria Visa Policy identifies 235 nationalities worldwide that must apply for a tourist visa to enter the country regardless of the duration of the intended stay.
A tourist visa is issued to applicants travelling for purpose of leisure/sightseeing and a tourist visa application must be accompanied by either a certificate of accommodation legalized by the Town Hall of the place of accommodation in Algeria, a hotel reservation, or a certificate from a travel agency specifying the nature and place of the trip.
Generally, most foreign nationals require a visa to Algeria and a passport with 6 months of validity left. Nationals of Libya, Malaysia, Maldives, Mali, Mauritania, Morocco, Seychelles and Tunisia do not need a visa to enter Algeria.
The Consulate General of Algeria in Geneva will process visa applications made by applicants residing in Switzerland only. Others foreign citizens must provide "proof of residency in Switzerland".
Regardless of their age, kids traveling with their parents need a visa.
The processing time may vary according to the nationality of the applicant and the visa type. However, visas submitted are generally issued within 14 working days.
During certain periods of the year (summer holidays, New Year's holidays, Ramadhan, Eid celebrations), the processing time may be extended by 5 more working days for each period indicated above. This is due to the high volume of applications being processed.
The Consulate General has no express service to process applications merely due to planned travel date and also advise not to buy non-refundable or non-flexible ticket until the visa is issued.
The Algeria consulate requires your original passport in order to process your visa application.
The visa will be stamped or affixed to a page inside your passport.
