What you need

  • Passport: Must be valid for at least six months beyond your intended stay in Palau.
  • Onward or Return Ticket: Proof of intention to depart Palau is required.
  • Proof of sufficient funds: While no specific amount is mandated, travelers should be prepared to show evidence of financial means to cover their stay. This could include bank statements or credit card statements.
  • Accommodation: Proof of booked accommodation for the duration of your stay is recommended.
  • No specific visa application forms are required for visa-free entry.
  • Photographs: Not typically required for visa-free entry, but good to have a few passport-sized photos for potential extension applications.
  • Biometrics: Not required for visa-free entry.
  • Travel Health Insurance: While not strictly mandatory for visa-free entry, it is highly recommended to have comprehensive travel medical insurance covering medical emergencies, repatriation, and trip cancellation.

Visa types

  • Algeria citizens benefit from visa-free entry for tourism.
  • Tourist Entry:
  • Official Name: Visa-Free Entry for Tourism
  • Validity: 30 days from the date of entry.
  • Maximum Stay: 30 days. Extensions are possible.
  • Entry Type: Single entry for the 30-day period.
  • Fee: USD 50 Palau entry fee (payable on arrival). This is not a visa fee but an immigration fee.
  • Business/Other Purposes:
  • For purposes other than tourism, such as business, work, or study, a specific visa would typically be required prior to arrival. However, information on obtaining these specific pre-arranged visas for Algeria citizens is not readily available through standard channels and would likely require direct contact with Palau's immigration authorities or an embassy of Palau in a neighboring region (if one exists and handles such applications).
  • Extension of Stay:
  • Visa: Not applicable as it is visa-free entry.
  • Type: Extension of tourist stay.
  • Validity: Extensions can be granted for up to another 30 days.
  • Fee: Approximately USD 50 for each extension.
  • Application: Must be applied for at the Bureau of Immigration in Palau before the initial 30-day stay expires.

Entry conditions

  • Ports of Entry: Palau International Airport (ROR) and Malakal Port are the primary points of entry.
  • On Arrival Procedures: Present your valid passport, onward or return ticket, and be prepared to answer questions about your purpose of visit and duration of stay.
  • Payment: A USD 50 Palau entry fee is collected upon arrival for all visitors entering visa-free. This fee is often paid in cash (USD) or by credit card. Ensure you have the exact amount or a way to pay.
  • Work Restrictions: Visa-free entry is strictly for tourism. Engaging in any form of employment or business activities without the appropriate work permit or visa is illegal.
  • Extension Options: To extend your stay beyond the initial 30 days, you must apply for an extension at the Bureau of Immigration in Palau before your current permission expires. Extensions are typically granted for another 30 days and incur a fee of approximately USD 50.

Fees & processing time

  • Palau Entry Fee: USD 50 (payable on arrival). This is a mandatory fee for all visitors, not a visa fee.
  • Extension Fee: Approximately USD 50 per extension (payable in Palau).
  • Total Cost Estimate: For a 30-day tourist stay, the primary cost is the USD 50 entry fee. Additional costs would include accommodation, flights, and living expenses.

  • Express/Priority Option: Not applicable for visa-free entry.

Tips for Algeria travelers

  • Apply in Advance: While entry is visa-free, ensure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your stay and that you have your onward/return ticket readily available. Book accommodation in advance.
  • Common Rejection Reasons: While visa-free, entry can be denied if you do not meet the basic requirements: insufficient passport validity, lack of proof of onward travel, insufficient funds, or if immigration officers suspect you intend to work illegally or overstay.
  • VFS/BLS vs. Direct Embassy Application: Not applicable as entry is visa-free and no visa is required to be applied for in advance. Direct contact with Palau immigration authorities is for extensions only.
  • Current Travel Advisories: Always check for any current travel advisories issued by your home country regarding travel to Palau. The official Palau government website (palaugov.pw) may also have relevant immigration updates.
  • Extension Options: If you wish to stay longer than 30 days, apply for an extension at the Bureau of Immigration in Palau well before your initial permit expires. Be prepared to provide reasons for the extension and evidence of continued financial support and accommodation.
