Traveling to Algeria- US Citizen

[Hope_14 38]

Hello,

My husband is currently in Algeria. He's a Yemeni citizen, but because his case was transferred to Algeria, due to the war in Yemen, he's currently in Algeria. I would like to visit him (I am u.s. citizen). I know that I have to get a visa to get into Algeria, but my question is what type of visa would I need? Would it be a tourist visa, since my husband is not a citizen of Algeria? if it's a tourist visa, on the application form they asked for contact person in Algeria and I put my husband, would that be okay? thanks in advance

Hi, here is the Algerian Embassy Website http://www.algerianembassy.org/consular_affairs/visa_to_algeria.html..Youwould follow the directions.. I am married to an Algerian and I go to Algeria all the time on a Family visa. Before I married I went to Algeria on a Family Guest visit visa because his Mom sent me a notarized invitation letter that I sent in to the Algerian embassy with my application. Maybe the Algerian citizen your husband is staying with can send you a letter of invitation. On the application you would put the name of the Algerian who sent you the invitation. Here are the phone numbers for the Embassy: (212) 486-6930 (212) 486-6931 (212) 486-6932. If you need clarification. I hope this helps

You would need a tourist visa in know I needed a letter of invitation from my husband to get a visa. I would try emailing or calling the Algerian embassy in new york.

He's not living with anyone. He's living in a motel on his own. I thought of doing a tourist visa because I didn't know if they would accept my husband invitation since he's not Algerian, but I wasn't sure if it would right to do a tourist visa since I am really going to see my husband. I have called the embassy so many times, but no one answers and I have emailed them as well.

Do you have proof of hotel reservations

You can do the Tourist Visa, you would submit with your application an itinerary of your airline travel and a confirmed Hotel reservation. Here is the number to The Algerian Embassy in Washington DC (202) 265-2800. I have called them before even though I had to submit my application to the Embassy in New York, they answered faster lol

Yes, my husband got me one and officially stamped and emailed it to me

Do you know how long they usually take from the time I send it to the time I actually get the visa?

Thanks for your help

Hi guys. I'm in same boat. Our case is in Algiers. I will be leaving from usa to jordan pick up my husband and go to Algiers. So how would I get visa to algeria since I don't have any contact there?

Do you just make hotel reservation for 1 day or for the duration of the trip (don't know how long it will be for immigration processing)
