🇺🇸 USA to Algeria: visa and entry requirements 🇩🇿

Visa requiredOrdinary passport

Visa required · Consular visa normally required before independent tourism travel; limited organised-trip exceptions do not create a general arrival visa · A United States ordinary-passport holder must normally obtain an Algerian consular visa before independent tourism travel. The limited exceptions for an organised cruise shore excursion or an approved-agency journey to specified southern cities do not establish a general visa-on-arrival entitlement for ordinary tourists and are therefore not used as the canonical classification. The passport must remain valid for at least six months and meet the issued visa's conditions. The visa label and Algerian border authority determine validity, entries and authorised stay, so no universal numeric maximum is inferred from application or product-validity information.
