Algeria’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs states that foreign nationals generally must obtain a visa before travel (unless exempt); Ethiopia is not listed among Algeria’s ordinary-passport visa-exempt nationalities, so Ethiopian passport holders should obtain an Algerian visa in advance through an Algerian diplomatic/consular mission.

Entry requirements
- Algeria MFA: foreigners wishing to travel to Algeria must obtain a visa in advance, except those exempt.
- Secondary reference lists Algeria’s ordinary-passport visa-exempt countries; Ethiopia is not included in that list.
Passport
Passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the date of entry (per widely-published entry rules).
Algeria’s official MFA page does not publish a nationality-by-nationality exemption list. This record uses the official ‘visa required unless exempt’ rule plus a secondary visa-exemption list. Always confirm the correct visa type, documents, fees, and processing timelines with the Algerian mission responsible for your place of residence before booking.
