To go to Algeria, you will need a passport valid for at least 6 months after your return as well as an Algerian visa. Obtaining the visa is done in two or three days in principle (provide 2 photos, a form, an insurance certificate covering the stay, an invitation from our agency and €33 in cash) from the consulate on which you are geographically dependent.
