All the above documents have to be taken to the Algerian embassy for the visa to be issued. The visa is issued within 10 working days (but this does depend upon nationality).
Processing of an application may be delayed, if prior agreement by Algerian authorities in Algiers is required. Furthermore, the Embassy reserves the right to request additional documentation from any applicant. It is not the responsibility of the Embassy if there is any delay in the processing of the visa application.
Notes: Visa regulations are liable to change at short notice and there may be some variations between Consulates with regards to documentation required. Prospective visitors are advised to contact the nearest Algerian Consular section or Embassy to ensure the list of documents required is up-to-date and correct for their area.
Visa Validity
The business visa is issued and valid for the specific dates as requested on your application form. The Embassy of Algeria advises applicants to make their travel arrangements based on that date of entry - applicants should not arrive in Algeria before that date or exit after the exit date shown.
