Philippines to Algeria visa requirements

Philippine ordinary passport holders need a visa to enter Algeria. There is no visa-free entry, and Algeria's eVisa does not cover Filipinos, so you must apply at an Algerian embassy or consulate before you travel. A Philippines (PH) ordinary passport holder traveling to Algeria for tourism must obtain a consular (paper) visa in advance. Algeria has launched a limited eVisa, but eligibility is restricted to Gulf Cooperation Council states (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain) and select Western/European travel groups; the Philippines is not on the eligible list, so Filipinos cannot use the eVisa. A visa-on-arrival exists only for travelers on tours organized by an approved Algerian travel agency visiting designated southern (Saharan) provinces, and is not a general entry channel. For an ordinary short tourist stay, the realistic path is to apply for a short-stay tourist visa at the Algerian Embassy or Consulate (the Philippines is covered by the Algerian Embassy in Manila / accreditation in the region). Required documents include a passport valid at least 6 months with a blank page, a completed application form, recent photos, confirmed round-trip flights, hotel booking or an invitation letter, proof of sufficient funds, employment/business documents, and travel insurance. Processing typically takes about 10-20 working days and stays are usually granted for up to 30 or 90 days at consular discretion. Because sources consistently show no visa-free or general eVisa channel for Filipinos, the conservative and correct verdict is visa-required.
