BEFORE YOU APPLY

Two Ways to Visit Algeria

Before planning your journey, it’s important to understand how Algeria’s tourist visa system works.

Depending on your nationality, travel plans, and eligibility, international visitors can generally obtain a tourist visa through one of two application pathways.

The first is the Regular Tourist Visa, obtained through an Algerian embassy or consulate with the support of an official invitation letter. 

The second is the Visa on Arrival, a simplified process where eligible travelers receive a boarding authorization before travelling and complete the visa formalities upon arrival in Algeria.

Both options allow you to discover Algeria’s remarkable landscapes, rich history, and authentic culture. The right choice simply depends on your travel circumstances.
