Embassy of Algeria in Beijing, China

Contact and pre-visit guide

A practical guide to the Algerian Embassy in Beijing

The mission portal, Algeria’s central directory and China’s Foreign Ministry agree on the chancery at No. 7 San Li Tun Lu, the two main telephone lines, fax and email. The mission presents Lahcene Kaid Slimane; a Chinese Foreign Ministry report dated November 2025 calls him the Algerian Ambassador to China under the name order Kaid Slimane Lahcen. Visa instructions need a little more care. The English page normally requires personal submission in Beijing, while the Chinese page adds an authorised Zhejiang channel that is absent from English.

Published address and contact channels

Give the exact service and your province or place of residence in the first enquiry. Before paying or handing over a passport, confirm the receiving office, address, time, current documents and return method on a live official page.

Chancery address confirmed by both governments

No. 7 San Li Tun Lu
Chaoyang District, Beijing 100600
China

Published general working window

09:00–16:00

General working hours are not visa-counter hours

The contact page publishes Monday to Friday, 09:00–16:00, except national and religious holidays. The visa page gives a shorter Beijing window: submissions Monday to Wednesday, 09:30–11:00, and collections Monday to Friday, 09:30–11:00. Confirm the exact service before setting out.

Before handing over a passport or file

The emergency-number field on the contact page is blank, so the general lines are not relabelled as emergency contacts. This guide also leaves out fees, bank details and fixed document checklists. Those operational details can change and should be checked at the point of use.

The ambassador in the official records

Lahcene Kaid Slimane Kaid Slimane Lahcen

The mission displays Lahcene Kaid Slimane and places his arrival in November 2023. In a report updated on 12 November 2025, China’s Foreign Ministry referred to Kaid Slimane Lahcen as the Algerian Ambassador to China.

The name order and spelling differ between the two official systems; the records point to the same person. For protocol correspondence, use the form supplied by the receiving office or ask the mission to confirm it. The biography page contains no career narrative, so none is added here.

Choose the submission channel before travelling

The useful question is not simply when the embassy is open, but which authorised office may receive the particular application. The Zhejiang route is therefore described only within the limits of its Chinese-language source.

Submission in Beijing

The English page says applications are not accepted by post and normally must be lodged by the applicant. Ask for the current category, appointment rule, documents, payment and collection method in writing. A complete file does not guarantee a visa, and further evidence may be requested.

Authorised Zhejiang channel

The Chinese page says the Zhejiang Foreign Affairs Overseas Personnel Service Centre at No. 1 Shihan Road, Hangzhou, may receive all visa categories from private-passport applicants in Zhejiang and “neighbouring provinces”. It does not name those provinces, and English omits the channel. Confirm eligibility directly.

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 Beijing 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.
Do not send original documents on assumption

No reliable Beijing-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.

What this guide does not treat as settled

Operational pages change and their language versions do not fully match. The following are not presented as fixed facts:

  • a complete career biography or one mandatory spelling of the ambassador’s name;
  • one submission channel that automatically covers every resident of China;
  • membership of any particular province in the unnamed neighbouring-province group;
  • a current fee, bank account, payment method or fixed document checklist;
  • an emergency number, 24-hour cover or guaranteed walk-in access;
  • a processing time, visa outcome, or guaranteed dispatch and return of originals.

Open the relevant official language page on the day you prepare the application, then obtain current confirmation before paying or transferring an original document.

Frequently asked questions

What is the address of the Algerian Embassy in Beijing?

No. 7 San Li Tun Lu, Chaoyang District, Beijing 100600. The Algerian mission, Algeria’s central directory and China’s Foreign Ministry directory agree.

What contacts and general hours are published?

Telephone +86 10 6532 1231 and +86 10 6532 3773, fax +86 10 6532 1648, email the email shown in the contact section above. General hours are Monday–Friday 09:00–16:00, excluding the stated holidays.

Who is the Algerian Ambassador to China?

The mission lists Lahcene Kaid Slimane from November 2023; China’s Foreign Ministry called Kaid Slimane Lahcen the ambassador in November 2025. The official name order differs.

Can a visa application be sent by post?

The English mission page says no and normally requires the applicant to attend. Use only an expressly authorised route and check the Chinese-language Zhejiang exception if it may apply.

Does the Hangzhou centre cover every province?

That cannot be inferred. The Chinese page says Zhejiang and neighbouring provinces without listing them, and the English page omits the centre. Confirm the province and passport category directly.

Official sources checked

These records establish the mission, contacts and source-labelled ambassador. They also expose the language boundary around the visa channels instead of hiding it.
