United Kingdom visa for Algerian citizens

Visa required
🇩🇿 Algerian passport → 🇬🇧 United Kingdom: 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: United Kingdom commonly asks for proof of onward travel (airline check-in and border).

Beyond United Kingdom: 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: 🇲🇦 Morocco (90 days), 🇲🇾 Malaysia (90 days), 🇧🇧 Barbados (90 days) — all 54 open destinations.

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