Exercise increased caution with higher advice levels in some areas

Overview

There are more significant safety or security concerns than you would usually find in New Zealand because of the high threat of terrorism and risk of kidnapping.  

Other things that New Zealanders travelling or living in Algeria should be aware of are: 

  • Civil unrest/political tension—demonstrations and protests are common, and can disrupt travel plans. Avoid these and follow the instructions of local authorities. 
  • Crime – Foreigners may be targeted due to perceived wealth. Be vigilant in crowded areas. Make security arrangements as needed.

See below for detailed travel advice.
