Visa requiredOrdinary passport

Visa required · Consular visa required before ordinary tourism travel; the issued visa determines the authorised stay · Swiss ordinary-passport holders must obtain an Algerian visa before ordinary tourism travel. Algeria's embassy in Bern states that foreign nationals travelling to Algeria must hold a passport bearing a visa and expressly accepts applications from Swiss nationals in its consular district. This rule does not treat the specialised facilitation reported for some organised trips to the far south as a general visa-on-arrival entitlement. The visa label and Algerian border authorities determine the authorised dates and duration, so no universal numeric tourist-stay ceiling is inferred from the application guidance.
