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).

Going the other way? Japanese citizens visiting Algeria need a visa arranged in advance.
