Japan visa for Algerian citizens
Visa required
🇩🇿 Algerian passport → 🇯🇵 Japan: yes — a visa arranged in advance.
How it works
You'll need a visa arranged in advance through the embassy or consulate (or an authorised visa centre): application form, passport photos, fee, and often proof of funds, accommodation and onward travel. Start early — processing can take weeks.
Heads-up: Japan commonly asks for proof of onward travel (airline check-in; immigration occasionally).

Beyond Japan: the Algeria passport
The 🇩🇿 Algeria passport ranks #155 of 199 worldwide, entering 54 destinations without a visa arranged in advance (see the world ranking).
Also visa-free on the Algeria passport: 🇲🇾 Malaysia (90 days), 🇭🇰 Hong Kong (14 days), 🇵🇸 Palestine — all 54 open destinations.
Going the other way? Japanese citizens visiting Algeria need a visa arranged in advance.
