Algerian requirements

Customs, immigration, health and port requirements.

Arrange the first port in advance

A foreign yacht should make first landfall at an Algerian maritime border port and obtain explicit acceptance before approaching. Most facilities are commercial ports with no dedicated visiting-yacht berth, so agent or harbour-master coordination is strongly advised.

Report before entering territorial waters

Provide the yacht identity, flag, registration, last and next ports, ETA and complete crew list in advance. Follow Coastguard and port-control instructions and do not anchor or divert without permission.

Complete the authority sequence aboard

Expect the Coastguard, border police, Customs and harbour master to attend or direct the yacht. Everyone should remain aboard until passports, crew records, vessel documents and Customs formalities are complete.

Confirm visas before sailing

Algerian visa rules depend on nationality and visas generally need advance issue. Every crew member should confirm eligibility before departure; do not assume a visa can be issued at a yacht berth.

Carry multiple document copies

Prepare passports and visas, registration, ownership authority, insurance, skipper qualification, crew and passenger list and previous-port clearance. Commercial ports may request several printed copies.

Report every coastal movement

Movement between Algerian ports is controlled. Obtain formal clearance and permission for the named next port and expect the authority sequence to be repeated or checked on arrival.

Use only confirmed anchorages and berths

Naval, energy and industrial areas are restricted, and unauthorised coastal anchoring can trigger a security response. Use only the berth or anchorage assigned by the authorities.

Skipper preparation

Practical points before contacting the agent.

Arrange the request before reaching Mostaganem; a berth reservation alone may not complete border or Customs coordination.

Carry clear digital and printed copies of yacht, insurance, passport, crew and previous-clearance records.

State the yacht’s flag, private or commercial use, ownership and intended movements in Algeria accurately.

Use only the approach, berth and anchorage confirmed by the competent authorities.
