Turkey visa rules for Algerian citizens depend on the traveller’s age, passport type and trip purpose. Some ordinary passport holders have a tourism exemption, while certain age groups may qualify for a conditional one-month single-entry eVisa when they hold a valid Schengen, U.S., UK or Ireland visa or residence permit.
Do not use a generic Turkey eVisa page if you hold an Algerian passport. Ordinary passport holders under 15 and above 50 are visa-exempt for tourism up to 90 days in any 180-day period. Ordinary passport holders aged 15–18 and 35–50 may be able to use a one-month single-entry eVisa with a qualifying valid visa or residence permit. Other applicants should check the correct visa route before travel.
Important: Your age on the travel date, passport type and supporting document determine the route. Confirm those details before starting any eVisa application.
| Topic | What to know |
|---|---|
| Tourism exemption | Ordinary passport holders under 15 and above 50: up to 90 days in any 180 days for tourism. |
| Conditional eVisa | Ages 15–18 and 35–50 may qualify for one month, single entry with a valid Schengen, U.S., UK or Ireland visa or residence permit. |
| Other applicants | Use the appropriate visa route before travel; do not assume a universal eVisa option. |
| Travel purpose | Tourism conditions differ from work, study, residence and other long-term purposes. |
| Normal processing | The approximately 19-hour estimate applies only where an eligible eVisa route is available and the file is complete. |
Start with a complete passport and a travel plan that matches the route you intend to use. Avoid relying on a generic online form when your passport or purpose needs a different process.
Your age determines whether a tourism exemption or conditional eVisa rule may apply.
Use the same ordinary Algerian passport throughout the journey.
For the conditional eVisa route, keep a valid Schengen, U.S., UK or Ireland visa or residence permit accessible.
Make sure the journey is tourism or another eligible short visitor purpose.
Start by checking which age-based rule applies on your travel date.
If using an eVisa route, verify the supporting-document condition before payment.
Use the right passport and keep your itinerary and supporting details accessible.
