Visas - Algeria

Algeria

Algeria is the largest country in Africa. It is a colourful country that will satisfy lovers of swimming, diving and water sports. Algeria is home to some of the best preserved monuments of antiquity, which attracts many enthusiastic tourists.

The capital Algiers was an important port and the old part of the city still retains its ancient appearance. The Basilica of Nôtre Dame d'Afrique is an interesting feature of the city.

There is also the Sahara Desert, which includes amazing camel tours and adrenaline-pumping quad bike rides. The M'Zab Valley is the gateway to this Sahara desert.

In Constantine, which is often called the city of bridges, there is the highest and most amazing of all bridges - Sidi M´Cid. This amazing transport bridge connects the Medina of Constantine with the centre of the University Hospital.

Essential information

For travelers, the least restrictive visas are those that can be obtained directly upon entering the country - that is, at the border crossing or after landing at the airport. Such visas usually have no conditions.

Sometimes their issuance is subject to the payment of an administrative fee. These visas can be considered more like "entrance fees" or an additional source of income for local governments.

In the case of visas, which need to be arranged in advance at the relevant embassy, this is an incomparably more difficult matter. An applicant for a visa must visit the diplomatic mission of the relevant state in person or through an authorized representative, where he/she will apply for a visa. Since not all countries have their embassies in every country in the world, applicants often have to travel to neighboring countries for the sake of visas, or countries where a given country has a competent authority authorized to issue visas. Various conditions are often associated with obtaining a visa before entering the country.

Tourist visas usually require the presentation of a purchased travel ticket or accommodation reservation, or proof of sufficient financial security for the stay. A frequent requirement of a visa application is the so-called "invitation letter" (also "voucher"), which is a kind of justification for the trip and is issued by a local hotel, or a local tourist agency or host family. Tourist visas are issued for a limited period of time, usually up to 30 days. Tourist visas can entitle the holder to one or more entries/exits. Accordingly, we distinguish:

  • single entry visa
  • multiple entry visa
