Guide last updated September 12, 2026. Always verify with official sources before travel.

What you need

  • Passport valid for at least 3 months beyond the intended departure from North Macedonia
  • Completed visa application form (paper or via the e-Visa portal where available)
  • One recent photo, 35x45mm, color, white background
  • Travel medical insurance valid for the whole stay, minimum EUR 30,000 coverage
  • Proof of accommodation (hotel booking or invitation letter)
  • Round-trip flight reservation
  • Bank statements or proof of sufficient funds, and an employer letter if employed
  • Biometrics (fingerprints, photo) collected at the responsible embassy or visa centre, since North Macedonia has limited direct consular presence in Algeria

Visa types

  • Short-stay type C visa, single or multiple entry, valid for up to 90 days within any 180-day period, for tourism or family visits
  • Business visa, same category, requires an invitation letter from a North Macedonian company
  • Long-stay type D visa for work, study or family reunification, applied for separately and requiring a residence permit process after arrival

How to apply

  • Applications from Algeria are typically submitted to the nearest North Macedonian embassy covering Algeria, or through the e-Visa portal where eligible, since North Macedonia has no resident embassy in Algiers
  • Submit the full document set, including proof of insurance and accommodation
  • Biometrics are captured at the time of application if not already on file
  • Decisions are communicated directly by the embassy or via the e-Visa system

Fees & processing time

  • Visa fee: approximately EUR 60-75 for a short-stay type C visa
  • No separate service fee for direct embassy applications; a regional visa centre, if used, may add roughly EUR 20-30
  • Standard processing time: around 10 working days from a complete application
  • No official express service is generally offered; apply early given the added travel time to reach the responsible embassy

Tips for Algeria travelers

  • Apply at least 4-6 weeks ahead, factoring in the time needed to reach the responsible regional embassy
  • A valid multiple-entry Schengen visa or Schengen residency can support a smoother application, and in some cases allows visa-free entry - check current bilateral rules before applying
  • Common rejection reasons include insufficient proof of return intent and an unclear travel purpose
  • Keep insurance and accommodation proof consistent with the exact travel dates on the application
  • Extensions beyond 90 days are not available under the tourist visa; a separate application is required for any longer stay
