🇨🇦 Canada to Algeria: visa and entry requirements 🇩🇿

Visa requiredOrdinary passport

Visa required · Tourist visa required from an Algerian mission before travel; issued terms determine the authorised stay · A Canadian ordinary-passport holder must obtain an Algerian tourist visa from the embassy or the closest Algerian consulate before travelling. The passport must remain valid for at least six months beyond the expected departure from Algeria, and the traveller must comply with the category, entries, validity and stay printed on the issued visa. The Canada-specific guidance does not publish a single tourist-stay allowance that applies to every issued visa, so visa validity must not be converted into an assumed length of stay. Students are also instructed to travel on a tourist visa, while work, residence and other regulated purposes require their appropriate permissions.
