Do Brazil passport holders need a visa to visit DZ?

Yes, a Brazilian ordinary passport holder needs a visa to visit Algeria for tourism. There is no visa-free entry, no eVisa, and no general visa-on-arrival for Brazilians; you must apply in advance at an Algerian embassy or consulate. Brazil does not appear on Algeria's short visa-exempt list (which covers only a handful of countries such as Tunisia, Mali, Mauritania, Malaysia, Seychelles, Libya and a 14-day allowance for Hong Kong), so Brazilian ordinary passport holders must obtain a tourist visa before traveling. Algeria does not currently operate a general electronic visa (eVisa) accessible to Brazilians; applications are filed with an Algerian diplomatic mission, in Brazil typically the Embassy of Algeria in Brasilia. A limited visa-on-arrival exists only for travelers booked on tours run by an approved Algerian travel agency with an itinerary that includes at least one designated southern province (valid up to 30 days); a December 2024 proposal to broaden this nationwide had not been confirmed as fully implemented as of mid-2026, so independent tourists should not rely on it. The standard tourist visa requires a passport valid at least six months, photos, a confirmed hotel booking, proof of onward travel, and travel/repatriation insurance. Algeria is not in the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply. Given the absence of a confirmed no-visa channel for independent Brazilian tourists, the verdict is visa-required.
