Since 2023, Algerian authorities have set up a system for obtaining "Visa on Arrival" for tourists participating in a trip authorized and organized by an Algerian Travel Agency, and recognized by the Algerian Ministry of Tourism, that includes at least one stop at one of the tourist sites in the Sahara. The visa is issued upon arrival only at Algiers International Airport or at Djanet Airport .

Get the visa at the Algeria airport or border post on arrival. Carry a passport valid for 6+ months, passport-sized photos, the visa fee in cash (USD is typically accepted), and proof of onward travel. Some borders accept card payments — verify before traveling.

For short business visits like meetings or conferences, Italy citizens typically enter Algeria under the same rules as tourists. For paid work, long assignments, or activities beyond what a tourist visa allows, a dedicated business or work visa is required. Confirm specifics with the Algeria embassy or consulate.
