Welcome message from Ambassador Abdallah Baali, the  Ambassador of Algeria to the United States of America

I am delighted to welcome all distinguished visitors of the website of the Embassy of Algeria in the United States of America. This site is primarily a window open onto Algeria but it is also the representation of the activities of our diplomatic mission.

Designed to help our dear compatriots living in the United States, it is also geared towards the informational needs of all categories of US citizens interested in our country - business people, tourists, academics, students, and others.

The mission of our website is to try to provide a wide range of information and attempt to meet the diverse needs of visitors. Generally speaking, it aims to promote relations between Algeria and the United States of America and establish an interactive connection with the Algerian community living in the US in order to better assist its members, namely with adequate consular services.

This website is a work in progress and a tool that can be further improved thanks to feedback from our visitors. We welcome any constructive comments and suggestions. We thank you and hope that you will enjoy your visit with us.

Abdallah Baali

NOTICE TO THE COMMUNITY PDF Print E-mail
It has come to the attention of the Embassy that a significant number of applications submitted to the Office of Consular Affairs are incomplete, thus impeding normal processing and generating consequences likely to hamper travel arrangements by applicants and their dependents.
 
In order to correct the situation, the Embassy draws the attention of our compatriots on the need to apply early enough to allow for timely processing of document renewal and to strictly observe the instructions posted to that effect on the Embassy website (http://www.algeria-us.org ).
 
Incomplete applications will be returned to sender at sender’s cost.
 
Furthermore, our compatriots are strongly advised to keep the Embassy informed of any change of address and telephone number(s) and to include an email address where they can be reached, thereby allowing the Embassy to contact them should the need arise.

For further information, please contact the Office of Consular Affairs at:
