Turkey will waive visa requirements for two categories of Algerian citizens traveling during the summer of 2026, according to a presidential decree signed by Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and published in the Turkish Official Gazette on June 19, 2026. The decree details which Algerian citizens will be eligible for the visa exemption, though specific categories were not detailed in the initial report. This move is expected to significantly boost tourism between the two countries during the peak summer season. The decision aims to facilitate travel and strengthen bilateral relations. Further details regarding the application process and eligible categories are anticipated. The decree was officially published and is now in effect for implementation leading up to the summer of 2026. This policy change positions Turkey as a more accessible destination for Algerian tourists.
