Contacting the Algerian Embassy in Beirut
This guide starts with the contact details repeated by official Algerian sources, then separates them from operational information that still needs direct confirmation. The mission’s two web properties publish conflicting hours, while local rules for appointments, fees and document delivery are not established well enough to present as current instructions.

Embassy of Algeria in Beirut
This is the Algerian embassy record in the Lebanese capital. Its official portal and published switchboard are sensible starting points for a precise enquiry, but publication does not prove immediate answerability or access without prior arrangements.

Confirm service hours rather than choosing one timetable
The current mission portal and an older mission website listed by Algeria’s foreign ministry give different schedules. This guide therefore publishes neither as the current timetable. Ask for the day, time, appointment rule and access arrangements for your exact service, then recheck shortly before setting out.
Use the address without being caught by spelling variants
The neighbourhood and street appear under more than one Latin transliteration in the official records. These variants do not by themselves indicate different premises, but they can change map results or what a driver recognises.
Djnah or Jnah
Both spellings occur in official Algerian material. Search with Rue Adnan or Adnane Hakim and Secteur 8 as well, and carry the complete address rather than relying on the neighbourhood name alone.
A post-office box is not a visitor entrance
BP 4794/11 forms part of the published address but does not identify a gate or prove public access. Ask for the current entrance, security instructions and accessibility arrangements if they matter to your visit.
Name the service in the first message
A short enquiry with enough context is easier to route than a broad request for ‘all the documents’. State who you are, where you normally live, the exact procedure and the decision you need from the embassy.
Algerian document or consular matter
Name the passport, registration, civil-status, legalisation or other procedure. Ask for the current Beirut checklist and whether attendance, an appointment, originals, copies, payment or collection are required.
Visa for Algeria
Give nationality, country of habitual residence, purpose and expected length of travel. Ask for the correct category, form, supporting papers, fee, payment method, appointment rule and personal-attendance requirement.
Institutional or diplomatic enquiry
Identify the organisation, subject, responsible contact and any genuine deadline. Do not attach personal or confidential records until the receiving address, section and transfer method have been confirmed.
Prepare a useful enquiry before calling or writing
The office can answer more accurately when the first message contains enough context. Keep it concise and do not attach sensitive documents until the recipient and method have been confirmed.
- Your full name and a safe way to reply.
- Your nationality and, when relevant, whether you are an Algerian citizen or a foreign traveller.
- Country of habitual residence, town and postcode, because residence can determine the competent Algerian post.
- The exact service: passport, civil status, consular registration, legalisation, visa or another named request.
- Any genuine deadline and the reason for it, without presenting a travel booking as a guaranteed processing date.
- A request for the current checklist, fees, payment method, appointment rule, submission method and collection method.
No reliable Beirut-specific postal procedure or return method was established in the checked material. Ask for written confirmation before posting a passport, certificate or other original. If an office authorises post, follow its current packaging, tracking and return instructions exactly and keep copies of everything sent.
Visa and consular requests: what must still be confirmed
The Beirut portal contains a general Algerian entry-visa route, but the checked material does not establish Beirut-specific fees, payment, appointment, submission, collection or postal rules. Visa categories and supporting papers vary with the purpose of travel, so obtain the current local instructions for your category directly from the competent office.
A reference to 48 hours on the official material is limited to organised tourists after receipt of a complete file. It is not a universal processing time, an issuance promise or a reason to buy non-refundable travel. Allow margin and wait for the passport and decision before treating the journey as confirmed.
The same caution applies to consular registration and other Algerian documents. A page available through the Beirut portal contained requirements tied to Créteil in France, so this guide does not reproduce that checklist as if it were Lebanese procedure.
| Before you act | Ask for explicit confirmation |
|---|---|
| Competent post | Whether the Beirut mission handles the exact service for your place of habitual residence or another Algerian post is responsible. |
| Attendance | Whether an appointment is required and the current counter hours for that service. |
| File and payment | The current form, documents, originals or copies, photographs, fee and accepted payment method. |
| Delivery and timing | How to submit and collect, whether post is accepted, the return method and a realistic non-guaranteed timeframe. |
Information this guide deliberately does not assume
Official information can change, and some of the checked pages were incomplete or contained details belonging to another post. For that reason, this page does not publish the following as current Beirut facts:
- the name of the current ambassador;
- complete consular jurisdiction within Lebanon, for residents elsewhere or for particular services;
- opening hours, counter hours or holiday closures;
- an emergency telephone number;
- a universal appointment, walk-in or postal rule;
- fees, payment methods or one document checklist for every applicant;
- a guaranteed processing time, acceptance or visa decision.
Use the verified contacts above to obtain service-specific instructions. Save the reply, note the date and recheck shortly before travelling, because an older email may no longer reflect the current procedure.
Frequently asked questions
What is the address of the Algerian Embassy in Beirut?
Official sources publish it as Djnah/Jnah, Rue Adnane or Adnan Hakim, Secteur 8, BP 4794/11, Beirut. Confirm the visitor entrance before travelling.
Which phone number and email address are published?
The published telephone is +961 1 82 67 12; the email address is listed in the contact card above. Publication does not guarantee a prompt answer or continuous monitoring.
What are the embassy’s opening hours?
This guide does not present hours as current because two official mission websites publish conflicting schedules. Confirm the current hours and appointment rule for the exact service.
Can I post a passport or another original document?
Do not send an original without written instructions confirming acceptance, the receiving address, tracking and return. No complete Beirut-specific postal procedure was verified.
Does an Algerian visa take 48 hours?
No general 48-hour promise was verified. The wording found is narrowly limited to organised tourists after a complete file is received and does not guarantee processing or issuance.
Official contacts and sources
The official Algerian sources below support the embassy identity and core contact values. The older ministry-listed mission site is included for transparency; because its operating information conflicts with the current portal, it is not used to establish hours.
