Argentina to Algeria visa requirements

Argentine ordinary passport holders need a visa to visit Algeria for tourism. There is no visa-free or visa-on-arrival entry. The standard route for an independent traveler is a consular tourist visa obtained in advance from an Algerian embassy or consulate; an e-visa exists but is issued only through licensed Algerian travel agencies for organized trips. Argentina is not on Algeria's visa-exemption list for ordinary passports, so an Argentine tourist must obtain a visa before travel. The universally available channel is the consular (embassy/consulate) short-stay tourist visa, typically valid for a stay of up to 30 days, single or double entry, requiring a passport valid at least 6 months, photos, the application form, round-trip ticket, proof of accommodation (hotel booking or invitation letter), and proof of funds. In-person consular applications are generally processed within about 7 working days. Algeria also operates an e-visa, but it is not open to individual self-applications: it must be requested through a licensed Algerian travel agency, mainly for organized tourism (the agency-handled file can be approved within 48 hours under the organized-tourism procedure). Note that holders of Argentine diplomatic or service passports are visa-exempt, but this does not apply to ordinary passports. Apply at least 2-3 weeks (ideally 60 days) before travel; applications lodged fewer than 15 days before arrival may be rejected.
