Entry/Exit Requirements

See the Embassy of the People's Democratic Republic of Algeria website for visa information.

Requirements for Entry:

• Passport valid for at least six months
• Visa

Prior to traveling, obtain a visa from an Algerian embassy or consulate.

If you are a U.S. citizen seeking residency in Algeria, you must show proof that you have registered with the U.S. Embassy by printing out and providing the confirmation page.

Dual Nationality
Algeria does not always recognize dual nationality, particularly for citizens traveling on an Algerian passport.

If you are an Algerian-American dual national traveling on your U.S. passport, you can enter Algeria without a visa until June 30, 2020.

If you have Israeli entry stamps in your passport, you may experience difficulties.

HIV restrictions
We are unaware of any HIV/AIDS entry restrictions for visitors or foreign residents of Algeria.

See the U.S. Embassy website for information on Algerian Customs import/export restrictions.
