HIV-specific entry and residence regulations for Algeria

Our correspondent writes: “I went to Algeria for work, on a 2-year contract. I’m a French national, and I got my visa without any problem at the Algerian Embassy in Paris. Once established in the country, I had to apply for a residence permit, as my work visa expired after 90 days. For obtaining a residence permit, a health test including HIV, hepatitis and syphilis is mandatory. The test results have to be attached to the residence permit application. I was denied residence and had to leave the country. Unfortunately, this information is not public anywhere.

Authors note: A second correspondent, also French national, confirmed the situation in 2019.
