• b) Valid passport, with at least two blank pages and an expiry date of at least three months after the planned return date.
• c) Two recent colour photographs, compliant with ICAO standards.
• d) Copy of the invitation document signed by the resident in Italy. The invitation must include the following information: full name, date of birth, address and telephone number of the inviting party; full name, date of birth, passport and address of the invited Algerian citizen; the duration and purpose of the visit; and a declaration assuming responsibility for board and lodging during the stay in Italy.
• e) Copy of the identity document or passport of the inviting party.
• f) Copy of the residence permit of the inviting party, if applicable.
• g) Proof of accommodation in Italy, such as a hotel booking confirmation letter or a rental contract.
• h) Proof of sufficient means of subsistence to cover the costs of the trip and the stay in Italy. This may include recent bank statements, letters of financial guarantee from the inviting party or a declaration of financial support.
• i) Proof of travel health insurance with minimum coverage of 30,000 euros, valid for the entire duration of the stay and for all Member States of the Schengen Area.
• j) Round-trip flight ticket booking, with travel dates and times clearly indicated.
• k) Documents demonstrating ties to the country of residence, such as employment certificates, school or university enrolment, or proof of property ownership. These documents serve to demonstrate that the applicant has valid reasons to return to their country at the end of the visit.

Visa for Algeria: processing times

Once the necessary documentation has been gathered and prepared, the applicant must book an appointment at the Italian Embassy in Algeria to submit the visa application and hand over the required documentation. It is important to submit the application at least 15 days before the planned date of departure, but no earlier than three months.

When submitting the application, the applicant must pay the consular fee for the Schengen visa, which amounts to 80 euros for Algerian citizens (free for children under 6 years of age). The payment must be made in local currency (DZD) at the official exchange rate.

Decision-making process and visa issuance

After submitting the application and paying the fees, the Italian Embassy in Algeria will examine the application and the documentation submitted. The assessment process can take from 7 to 15 working days. In some cases, an interview with the applicant may be required to obtain further information.

If the application is approved, the Schengen visa will be affixed to the applicant’s passport. The validity of the visa varies depending on the length of the requested stay and can range from a minimum of 7 days up to a maximum of 90 days, with one or more entries.
