Notes

Important notes

Every Nepali-language document MUST be accompanied by a certified English translation — embassies will reject untranslated originals. Where this page's destination notes ask for an apostille or a specific translator, follow those notes; otherwise a translation notarised by a Notary Public is the usual standard.
Income proof for Algerian visas: ANY ONE of the four Nepal-side income bundles is sufficient (Business OR Salary OR Pension OR Rental) — no need to submit all four. Pick the bundle that matches your active income source.
Nepali ordinary passport holders MUST apply for an Algerian visa BEFORE travel. There is NO e-Visa system as of 2026 (planned but not launched), NO visa-on-arrival for tourist purposes, and NO visa-waiver agreement. ONLY paper sticker visas issued by Algerian consulates.
There is NO Algerian embassy, consulate, or VFS centre in Kathmandu. ALL Nepali applicants must travel to Embassy of Algeria New Delhi (E-6/8 Vasant Vihar) for biometric capture and visa interview.
Algerian embassies operate on a Sunday–Thursday working week (aligned with Algeria), NOT the standard Mon–Fri Indian schedule. Plan VFS / embassy appointments accordingly.
Algeria is NOT in the EU or Schengen — Algerian visas do NOT confer Schengen entry, and Schengen visas do not provide visa-free access to Algeria.
Algerian Foreigners Act (Law 08-11 of 25 June 2008, consolidated through 2023 amendments) — primary domestic legislation governing entry, stay, and residence cards. Decree 03-251 sets visa-fee schedule.
Standard visa fees (consolidated 2024): Tourist single entry ≤30 days USD 100 / multi-entry ≤30 days USD 160 / single ≤90 days USD 130 / multi ≤90 days USD 200. Business multi-entry up to 1 year USD 250. Work / Study / Family Type D fees per category.
Working week in Algeria: Sunday–Thursday (Friday + Saturday off). Plan business meetings + government appointments around this calendar.
Common Nepali sectors in Algeria: hydrocarbons / oil-and-gas (Hassi Messaoud Sahara fields, Skikda LNG complex — Algeria is OPEC member, ~9% of European gas supply; Indian / Nepali engineers + technicians employed by Sonatrach, ENI, BP, Eni-Sonatrach JVs), construction (Algiers / Oran / Constantine infrastructure projects), Algerian Sonelgaz / national-grid contracts.
Travel insurance + repatriation coverage is MANDATORY for Algerian visa applications under Decree 14-275 — must explicitly mention coverage in Algeria + repatriation-of-remains.
Always disclose prior visa refusals (any country) — non-disclosure under Article 11 of Law 08-11 is grounds for refusal + future-application bar.
Algerian Arabic + Berber are official languages; French is widely used in business + administration. Documents may need French (preferred) or Arabic translations rather than English — confirm with Embassy New Delhi at appointment booking.
Nepal joined the Hague Apostille Convention on 14 March 2024 — but Algeria is NOT a party to the Hague Apostille Convention. Nepal-issued public documents must therefore be legalised through the Algerian-specific chain: Nepal MoFA -> Indian MEA (since Algeria has no embassy in Kathmandu) -> Algerian Embassy New Delhi.
