Mexico to Algeria visa requirements

Yes - Mexican passport holders need a visa to enter Algeria. There is no visa-free entry, no general eVisa, and no standard visa-on-arrival. You must apply for a consular tourist visa at the Embassy of Algeria in Mexico City before you travel. Holders of an ordinary Mexican passport are not on Algeria's visa-exemption list and must obtain an entry visa in advance from an Algerian diplomatic mission. For tourism, this means applying for a short-stay tourist visa at the Embassy of Algeria in Mexico City (Lomas de Chapultepec). Algeria does not operate a general electronic visa (eVisa) for Mexican tourists, and the limited visa-on-arrival facility applies only to organized tour groups visiting the southern Saharan provinces, not to independent travelers. A December 2024 government proposal to broaden visa-on-arrival to all provinces had not been implemented as of mid-2026, so applicants should rely on the consular sticker visa. The application requires a passport valid at least 6 months with blank pages, completed forms with photos, proof of accommodation (a hotel reservation or a certificate of accommodation legalized by the Algerian town hall) and/or an invitation, round-trip flight booking, proof of funds, and the visa fee. Travel insurance is required and can affect the visa validity start date. Note that entry can be refused if the passport contains Israeli stamps or visas. Travelers should apply several weeks before departure, as processing varies from a few days to a few weeks depending on the consulate's workload.
