Israel to Algeria visa requirements

Q: Can I transit through an Algerian airport on an Israeli passport?

No. Transit is refused to Israeli citizens, including remaining on the aircraft and continuing on the same flight. Choose a routing that avoids Algeria.

Q: I am a dual citizen. Can I enter Algeria?

Possibly, but only on your non-Israeli passport, following Algeria's standard visa rules for that nationality. Do not present your Israeli passport.

Q: Will Israeli stamps in my passport cause problems?

Yes. Even on a non-Israeli passport, Israeli entry/exit stamps or Israeli-issued visas can lead to additional questioning or denial of entry.

Q: Has Algeria normalized relations with Israel recently?

No. As of 2026 Algeria has not established diplomatic relations with Israel, and the entry ban on Israeli citizens remains in force.

Q: What should an Israeli traveler do instead?

Plan a trip to a country that admits Israeli passport holders, such as those offering visa-free entry or eVisas to Israeli nationals.

Israeli ordinary passport holders cannot enter Algeria. Algeria has no diplomatic relations with Israel and refuses entry and transit to Israeli citizens; Israeli nationals are not issued visas under any circumstances. Algeria does not recognize the State of Israel and maintains a complete entry ban on Israeli passport holders. Entry and transit are both refused to citizens of Israel, even if they remain on the aircraft and continue on the same flight. Israeli nationals are not permitted to obtain Algerian visas through any Algerian diplomatic mission, and there is no visa-on-arrival, eVisa, or visa-free channel available to them. In addition, travelers of any nationality whose passports contain Israeli stamps or Israeli-issued visas may face scrutiny or denial of entry. As of 2026 there has been no normalization between Algeria and Israel, and no policy change permitting Israeli citizens to enter. Travelers holding only an Israeli ordinary passport therefore have no lawful route to enter Algeria for tourism or any other short visit. The verdict is recorded as visa-required because no no-visa channel exists; in practical terms, entry is effectively impossible for this passport.

How to apply

/01

Understand the entry ban

· Policy: entry refused· No visa channel

/02

Confirm you hold only an Israeli passport

If you are solely an Israeli national with only an Israeli ordinary passport, you are barred from entry and transit. Do not attempt to fly via or to Algeria on this passport.

· Israeli passport only

/03

Check for a second nationality

If you hold dual citizenship, entry may be possible only on a non-Israeli passport. You would then follow Algeria's visa rules for that other nationality, applying at an Algerian embassy.

· Dual nationals only· Use other passport

/04

Review your passport for Israeli stamps

Even on a non-Israeli passport, Israeli entry/exit stamps or Israeli-issued visas can lead to additional questioning or denial. Consider this before travel.

· Israeli stamps risk denial

/05

Avoid transit through Algerian airports

Transit is also refused for Israeli citizens, including airside connections on the same aircraft. Choose flight routings that do not pass through Algeria.
