Algeria Visa from Quebec

Hi,

Has anyone had recent experience applying for a tourist visa to Algeria from Quebec, specifically at the consulate in Montreal?

How long does it take? The consulate’s website says 2 to 3 weeks. Is that accurate?

Is it possible to apply by mail? A travel agency told me it’s unrealistic.

What’s the maximum number of days you’ve been granted?

Thanks,

Pierre Racine

For the timelines, that seems realistic. Still, make sure to leave some buffer time!! However, in France, you’re required to submit your visa application IN PERSON. SAME GOES FOR PICKING IT UP. I think this is the same rule for all European and non-Muslim countries (??)

Hey Pedro, Personally, a friend of mine who wanted to visit me (I’m in Algiers) waited 15 working days, so 3 weeks, just like they told you. I was able to confirm this info in this blog post: https://welcome2algeria.com/visa-touristique-affaires-algerie-quebec/

Thanks IceMed. I’d be curious to know how many Canadians apply for an Algerian visa each year.
