Algeria again
I have received some news from a traveller who crossed south Algeria in September .
He gave me some interresting infos after he came back :
1. No problem to have a visa : same procedure then last year ; an no probleme at border post : no guide is mandatory
2. there are convoys again beetween El-Golea and In-Salah ( On Sunday and Wednesday ) and beetween In Salah and Tam ( on Monday and Thursday ) ; It is impossible to quit these towns without convoy and you have to wait for the day of departure of the convoy .
3. Barrages in Ouargla,El-Golea,In Salah,Tam + Arak's Gorge and Moulay Hassan .

The mood is not very good in the south due to the lack of tourists
No infos now for the road to Djanet .

RR.

Wonder where this traveller got his (or her) visa. In Niger or Mali? Or somewhere else?

Greetings,
Gerbert

Not sure !
I've phoned YESTERDAY to Algerian consulate in Lyon : SAME PROCEDURE AGAIN to obtain the visa
(Same info in Grenoble)
It's difficult to know what to believe but I think that NOW nothing have changed .
And for the future the most important thing it's what happens at border post : is the presence of the guide mandatory OR not ?

Niger without a convoy?
Thanks,
Bram

From the same traveller who gave me the infos about convoys beetween El Golea and Tam : No convoys after Tam ; so you can go to Niger in the same manner than last year .
(He was going to Agadez to make a loop in Air)
Can you tell me which trip are you planning ?
Thank you very much for your response !
Roro.

I've got an info about obtention of algerian visa on the Italian site : If I understand well , it's the same procedure than last year ....
"I visti per l’Algeria sono arrivati, rilasciati con la medesima procedura, cordialità e puntualità (3 giorni) dell’anno scorso da parte della sezione consolare dell’Ambasciata Algerina di Roma.
