Algeria Transit Visa: Different Airlines

Hi there, I have a layover in Algeria. I won’t be leaving the airport. The two tickets aren’t with the same airline. Do I need a transit visa? Thanks for any details and your help!

Hi, Yes, you’ll need a short-stay visa if you leave the airport’s international zone (transit area). In your case, you’ll have to exit this zone to collect your luggage, go back to the departures level, check in for your second flight, and then go through the formalities again before leaving. It would’ve been easier with a single ticket. Make sure you have at least 4 hours between the two flights to avoid a no-show due to a delay on the first one.
