Entry rules for Eritrea passport holders
Eritrean citizens must obtain a visa before traveling to Algeria. Applications generally go through a Algeria embassy or consulate and require a completed form, passport photos, proof of accommodation and onward travel, and sometimes travel insurance. Start the process several weeks before your planned trip, as processing times vary.
Entry rules can change at short notice. Always confirm current requirements with the official Algeria immigration authority or your nearest embassy before booking.
