Given that you are already en-route (and, presumably, holding a non-European passport), you'd better try for a visa in Tunis.

You don't need a carnet for Algeria.

Sam,

Do u think it is possible to get an Algeria visa in Mali ? I have just left and may be returning, but did not check when I was there. Will the french embassy issue one ?

Txs.

You used to be able to get one in Bamako in the space of three or four days (2001). The embassy is(was) south of the river near the "old" bridge. If you follow the signs to the german embassy you will be near it. It may have moved in the meantime.

Has anyone got an Algerian visa in Niger recently? Is it difficult? I realy only need a transit visa to get back to Tunis and Europe after a nice time in Sahara and Africa.

I have also been told recently that one can get a transit visa in Agadez for Alg, but I have also heard that the guy in Agadez is a bit tricky. In Niamey I would have thought less of a problem.

Hi Sam
No Carnet for Algeria?
Delighted to hear it, but please confirm...
Does that mean I can travel Tunisia - Algeria -Tunisia with only local insurance and no carnet?
Thanks Kit
