Algerian visa's - for a mixed group
 

A question for those who know the finer points of visa applications for Algeria and Niger...

There is 4 of us who want to travel overland through Tunisia & Algeria to Niger.

We all have different nationailities (US, Canada, NZ & UK)

Two of us live in the UK.

If we book guides and apply for visa's for Algeria, I don't think the Algerian embassy in London will allow non UK residents to apply? One visa agency has said this. Any idea if this is true? Can they get a letter of introduction from their London embassy to help?

If they (US & Canada) do have to apply in the US & Canada for their visa's to Algeria, can the guide agency send fax's to all 3 embassy's for the same trip/booked guide?

Is a US citizen likely to be given visa's for Algeria & Niger?

How easy is it to get a Niger visa? Is it reliable to get one in Tamanrassett?

Many thanks in advance! Any advice welcomed...

worth a try i suppose but they must apply in their home country if it has an emb.

yes

>>>Is a US citizen likely to be given visa's for Algeria & Niger?
of course, but misuse of apostrophes gets 3 years in Guano Bay.

>>> ... Is it reliable to get one in Tamanrassett?
as much as anywhere in africa.
