We Help With Your Visa Application
For UK travellers, the standard tourist visa process is broadly as follows.
- Book the Algeria trip / establish the itinerary. The traveller needs details of where they are staying, the purpose and duration of the visit. The official application form specifically asks for the address during the stay, intended entry date and purpose of travel.
- Adventure Algeria provides the supporting tour documentation.
- Complete the Algerian visa application form. The applicant provides personal details, passport information, occupation, travel dates, length of stay, address in Algeria and previous visits to Algeria.
- Prepare the supporting documents. These typically establish the applicant’s identity/passport, travel arrangements, accommodation/itinerary and reason for visiting.
- Submit the application to the Algerian consular authorities. For UK applicants, the relevant authority is the Algerian Embassy/Consulate in London.
- Visa issued → travel to Algeria. The visa is placed in/associated with the traveller’s passport for the approved entry and period of stay.
