Can a US citizen apply for a Algerian visitor's visa in Taiwan?

Question

Can I apply for the visa at the United States consulate or the American Institute in Taiwan??? I need to apply while I'm still in Taiwan... what can I do to receive the visitor's visa for the North African Country of Algeria?

Someone has told me... that a travel agent can help me apply for the visa... is this true?

Answer 1

You need to apply for a tourist visa at the Algerian Embasy in Taiwan. But after looking there is not one. You will have to contact the nearest embassy, which looks like it is in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia.

Answer 2

You need to apply for the visa at an Algerian embassy or consulate. The US consulate won't be able to help you. The purpose of the visa is to gain permission to enter a country. The country you're coming from or where you hold citizenship isn't involved. If there isn't an Algerian consulate in Taiwan, you'll need to contact one in another country. Try Beijing, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Shanghai, or Malaysia as another responder said. OR, because you are a US citizen, check out the Algerian embassy in Washington's website and call them.

Answer 3

Taiwan has no diplomatic relations with Algeria.

Hence there is no Embassy or Consulate of Algeria in Taiwan. To my knowledge, there is no trade office either.

However, there are Embassies of Algeria in Kuala Lumpur, Seoul, and Jakarta.

Otherwise, you can visit the Embassy of Algeria in Washington D.C.

Answer 4

There is no other way. Your husband cannot help you for Visitors visa. US Embassy is suspicious that you will go to US with Visitors visa and immigrate illegally. Have your husband start your Immigrant Visa by filing I-130. It will take 1 or 2 years until you will get interview or immigrant visa. At least in that way you can prove Consular officer that you are intending to immigrant to US legally way, if you are applying Visitors visa again.
