Umrah visa from Algeria (via licensed agency)
Last verified: June 2026 (nusuk.sa / ONPO source)
How do you get an Umrah visa from Algeria?
For Umrah, Algerians go mandatorily through a licensed agency (ONPO licence) and the official Nusuk platform: there is no 100% online service, but no pre-travel biometrics are required (fingerprints taken on arrival). A package (hotel + transport) linked to Nusuk Masar is mandatory (“no booking, no visa”). Stay up to 90 days; the visa must be used within 30 days. Meningitis ACWY vaccination is mandatory. Women may perform Umrah without a mahram (since Oct 2022).
