Visa logistics for Libya and Algeria
Can anyone help with this? I'm a UK citizen living in London and my desired itinerary is:
- leave London on Dec 15
- Tunisia from Dec 18 to Jan 1
- Libya from Jan 1 to Jan 15
- Algeria from Jan 15 to Jan 29
The Sahara Overland site says that the Libyan visa lasts 30 days and expires after 45. It makes no mention of the Algerian one having a "shelf life." So it seems to me I should apply for the Algerian one first, with a sequence of events something like this:
- apply for Algerian visa in the first week of Nov when I have worked out detailed itinerary. Get passport back in second week of Nov.
- apply for Libyan visa 2 weeks before departure (i.e. Dec 1) using an agency to lessen the chance of a delay. Ask for visa to run from Jan 1. (Will they do this?)
- get passport back around Dec 8. Visa will run from Jan 1....and expire when? 45 days from date of issue, i.e. Jan 22?
This is making my head hurt...
Thank you to anyone who takes the time to think this through for me!
