With an Algerian passport you can visit 90 countries and territories without going to an embassy. 25 of them are fully visa-free: you show your passport at the border and walk in.

The list below uses the same data as our Algeria passport page, so the two always match. When we confirm a rule change with an official source, both update together.

Four ways in without an embassy

  • Visa-free: no application. Show your passport, and usually a return ticket, at the border.
  • Visa on arrival: you get the visa at the airport or border when you land. A fee may apply.
  • eTA: a short online travel authorisation, applied for before you fly.
  • eVisa: a full visa, but you apply on the official government website. No embassy visit.

All four count as "no embassy". Only the last two need an online application before you travel.

What changed for Algerians in 2025 and 2026

Visa lists age quickly. These are the changes we have confirmed since the start of 2025:

  • Nicaragua: visa-free (since 16 February 2026). Algeria is on the exempt list of Nicaragua's Disposición 002-2026. A US$10 tourist card is paid on arrival. See Nicaragua's new visa list.
  • Kenya: no eTA, up to 60 days (since 30 May 2025). Algerians are among the African nationals exempt from Kenya's electronic travel authorisation. See who can skip Kenya's eTA.
  • Cabo Verde: visa needed before you travel (since 1 January 2026). Algeria is on the list of nationalities that can no longer get a visa on arrival. Apply for a visa before departure. See Africa's visa changes in 2026.
  • Ghana: free eTA instead of visa on arrival. As African Union citizens outside ECOWAS, Algerians apply online for a free Electronic Travel Authorisation (single entry, valid 90 days) on Ghana's official eVisa portal.

Hold a US, UK or Schengen visa? More doors open

Some countries relax their rules for Algerians who already hold a valid US, UK or Schengen visa or residence permit. For example, Mexico, Serbia, Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina normally require an embassy visa, and Oman lets you in visa-free for 14 days. Each has its own conditions. See every destination a Schengen visa or a US visa opens for Algerians, or switch on the visa you hold on the Algeria passport page.

How we keep this list honest

Our base dataset is a public list of visa requirements for every passport. We compare the Algerian passport with lists that cite IATA Timatic, the database airlines check at boarding. Whenever they disagree, we change our data only after confirming the rule with an official government source or a legal text. A few destinations are still being checked, so treat any single entry as a starting point and confirm it before you travel.

Rules can change without notice. Before you book, confirm with the destination's official immigration website or embassy.
