CONSULAR VISA

** If these documents are not available, applicants may submit their applications and must provide these two documents when collecting their visas.

Processing and validity of visas

Holders of diplomatic passports, service passports and laissez-passer from regional and international organizations are subject to the usual procedures for applying for a visa to enter Algeria, unless there is a visa exemption bilateral agreement for holders of these types of travel documents.

Visa application is processed within one week.

Visas will be delivered as follows:

For individual participants, a one-month single-entry tourist visa covering the period of the event (valid from 15 August to 15 September);

For exhibitors, a 3-month multiple-entry business visa;

For employees of the bank who are members of delegations and need to travel to Algeria several times for working meetings, a 06 months multiple-entry business visa.

VISAS ON ARRIVAL

In duly justified exceptional cases, visas on arrival will be issued in coordination with the relevant departments of the Ministry of Interior, Local Communities and Urban Planning.

Conditions for issuance

All foreigners arriving on National Territory are required to present themselves to the competent authorities responsible for border control, with a valid travel document accompanied by a consular visa.

However, in urgent cases, the Border Police may, on an exceptional basis, issue a regularization visa to foreigners who present themselves at border posts without a visa.

This measure applies to foreign nationals whose country of residence does not have Algerian diplomatic and consular representations.
