Algeria is simplifying access to its territory. Since November 25, 2025, Hong Kong citizens have benefited from a visa exemption. This historic decision facilitates tourism and strengthens economic ties between the two regions.
A Strategic Decision Linked to the "Belt and Road Initiative"
This measure is part of China’s « Belt and Road Initiative » (the New Silk Road). Algeria, a partner in this project since 2018, aims to intensify its cooperation with Asia.
By removing administrative barriers, the Algerian government is encouraging the flow of travelers. This opening directly benefits the transportation, cultural, and trade sectors.

Length of stay: Up to 14 days maximum
