Vietnam Visa for Algerian Citizens: E-Visa Cost in Dinars and Steps
Vietnam visa for Algerian citizens: ordinary passports need a visa, usually the 90-day e-visa from $47 (approx. 6,329 dinars). Dinar prices, Algiers cut-offs.
Algerian citizens with an ordinary passport need a visa for Vietnam, so the Vietnam visa for Algerian citizens is the e-visa, valid for up to 90 days and from $47 (approx. 6,329 dinars) all-in through us for single entry. Algeria does appear on a Vietnamese exemption list, but only for diplomatic and official passports. This page covers the e-visa, prices in dinars, urgent cut-offs in Algiers time, the steps, documents, visa on arrival and the embassy. You can apply for your e-visa with us in about ten minutes.
Algiers keeps the same time all year and sits six hours behind Vietnam, so the Vietnamese working day ends at lunchtime for you. That decides which urgent speed still works, and the cut-off table below is the part to check first.

Do Algerian citizens need a visa for Vietnam?
Yes. Algerian citizens with an ordinary passport need a visa for any stay in Vietnam, and the e-visa is the usual route. Algeria's row on Vietnam's exemption list covers only diplomatic and official passports.
On the Ministry of Foreign Affairs exemption list (published June 30, 2025, checked October 2026), Algeria is marked under Diplomatic and under Official/Service/Special, with a 90-day stay. The Ordinary column is empty, and Algeria is absent from the later 45-day lists. The Embassy of Algeria in Hanoi also tells travelers that a visa is needed to come to Vietnam. For the general rules, see Do I need a visa for Vietnam?

Vietnam visa for Algerian citizens: urgent cut-offs in Algiers time
Standard takes 5 to 7 working days. The urgent speeds use Vietnamese working days, which start at 8:00 in Vietnam, or 2:00 in Algiers. Because Algeria does not change its clocks, one column covers the whole year.
| Order cut-off | Algiers time |
|---|---|
| Same day (Vietnam 14:15) | 8:15 |
| Super Urgent (Vietnam 15:30) | 9:30 |
| Emergency (Vietnam 17:30) | 11:30 |
| 1 working day (Vietnam 18:00) | 12:00 |
Example: you order on a Tuesday at 6:00 in Algiers, which is noon in Vietnam. Emergency arrives by 8:30, Super Urgent by 9:30 and Same day by 12:00 Algiers time. Ordered at 10:00 instead, Emergency still arrives by 11:30, but Super Urgent and Same day have passed their cut-offs: Super Urgent arrives at 5:00 on Wednesday and Same day at 8:00. Our urgent e-visa page has every speed in Vietnam time.
The weekend window starts at Friday 12:00 in Algiers and ends on Sunday at 10:00. In that window, order the Weekend and public holidays speed before 9:20 and it arrives by 12:30 the same day.

Visa on arrival for Algerian citizens
Algerian citizens can use visa on arrival only when flying into Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang or Cam Ranh. You need an approval letter before you board and pay a $25 or $50 stamping fee at the airport.
It does not work for cruise ports or land borders. For most trips the e-visa is simpler; you can compare both when you choose a service.
Vietnam embassy in Algeria
Vietnam has an embassy in Algeria, but you do not need it for an e-visa, which is issued online. The Embassy of Vietnam in Algiers is at 30 Rue Chénoua, Hydra, Algiers. Our page on the Vietnam embassy in Algeria has the details.
Tips for Algerian travelers
Two points catch Algerian travelers: reading the exemption list as if it covered every passport, and trusting a site that says Algerians enter visa-free.
Diplomatic and official passports are different
The 90-day stay on Algeria's row of the exemption list belongs to diplomatic and official or service passports only. A holder of an ordinary Algerian passport needs the e-visa, even if a colleague with an official passport enters without one.
Check any site that says visa-free
Some lookup sites say Algerian passport holders can stay 90 days without a visa. That conflicts with the Ministry's list above. Check the Ministry's table again and read the column for ordinary passports, not the first column that carries a cross.
eVisaVietnam.com is a private visa service operated by TK VIET NAM., JSC, not the Vietnamese government. You can apply yourself at evisa.gov.vn for US$25. If you want your files checked and a delivery time backed by a full refund, apply for your e-visa with us.
