Algerian passport holders must obtain a visa before traveling to Singapore for any purpose, including tourism. There is no visa-on-arrival or eVisa option for Algerian nationals, so you need to apply through the Singapore Embassy in Algiers or an authorized visa agent. Plan ahead, as the process takes time and requires a valid passport with at least six months of validity.
