El Salvador visa from Algeria

Last verified: July 2026 (consular)

Do you need a visa for El Salvador from Algeria?

Yes: Algerians need a visa for El Salvador, obtained consularly (embassy / consulate), to apply for before departure. ⚠️ The CA-4 tourist card (Guatemala–Honduras–Nicaragua–El Salvador) is for travellers already visa-exempt — it does not apply to Algerians, who must obtain a visa. For a long stay, study or work, a specific permit is required: a partner agency can guide you.
