Do I Need a Visa for Algeria?

Yes. A visa is required for US citizens to travel to Algeria for any trip purpose. The visa application must be submitted to the Embassy of Algeria before your trip, and the Embassy requires that the application meet very specific criteria such as being typed in all capital letters. Handwritten applications will be rejected. Due to the particular requirements, it is best to have a travel document expert process your application on your behalf so that an error on the application does not result in your visa request being denied. In addition to a visa, you must have a valid passport to enter Algeria. If your passport displays entry or exit stamps from previous trips to Israel, you may experience difficulties with the immigration authorities. If you have visited Israel in the past, it is best to obtain a second passport for use on your trip to Algeria, and Passport Health’s travel document experts can assist with getting you a second passport.
