Ireland tourist / visitor visa for Algerian citizens: requirements, cost and odds
We do not publish a Algerian-specific approval rate for a tourist visa to Ireland, because we do not yet hold a figure from Ireland for this category broken down by nationality. Rather than estimate one and format it like a statistic, we leave it out. For background, the published figures that do exist for Algeria are a 51.2% US visitor-visa refusal rate in FY2025 and a 31.3% Schengen short-stay refusal rate in 2025 — different countries and a different visa class, so treat them as context rather than as your odds. What is documented is the decision itself — officers assess whether you are a genuine visitor who will return home on time, and the single biggest lever is return intent. The estimator below weighs your own finances, ties, travel history and refusal record instead.
Last reviewed July 2026 per our editorial standards.
For Algerian citizens applying, a tourist visa to Ireland is decided mainly on whether you are a genuine visitor who will return home on time. Public statistics point to an approximate base approval of around 56% for this route — but your own profile can move that figure a lot in either direction. Algerian applicants see elevated refusal rates, especially for Schengen; documented finances and ties to home are decisive.

Where Algeria sits in the official data
Two governments publish visa outcomes broken down by country. Neither predicts an individual decision, but together they show how Algerian applicants fare relative to everyone else, and which of the destinations we cover currently refuses the fewest applications from Algeria.
US visitor visas — FY2025
A 51.2% adjusted refusal rate places Algeria 145th of 199 nationalities the State Department publishes — a lower refusal rate than 27% of them. The median nationality sits at 31.8%, so Algeria is 19.4 points above it.
Schengen short-stay visas — 2025
Across all Schengen consulates in Algeria, 31.3% of short-stay applications were not issued — 98th of 127 countries with a meaningful application volume, and 15.7 points above the 15.6% median.
| Destination | Refused | Issued | Decided |
|---|---|---|---|
| France | 28.5% | 71.5% | 255,280 |
| Spain | 31.2% | 68.8% | 109,862 |
| Germany | 34% | 66% | 11,484 |
| Italy | 35.4% | 64.6% | 28,055 |
| Greece | 52.3% | 47.7% | 1,667 |
| Portugal | 53.2% | 46.8% | 1,849 |
| the Netherlands | 69.5% | 30.5% | 6,432 |
Among Schengen states, applications lodged in Algeria were refused least often by France at 28.5% and most often by the Netherlands at 69.5% — a gap of 41 points on a like-for-like basis. That gap reflects who applies where as much as how strictly each state decides, so it is a starting point for choosing a main destination, not a ranking of leniency. You must still apply to the state where you will spend the most nights.
Demand and outcome moved together for Algeria between 2024 and 2025. Schengen consulates there decided 440,989 short-stay applications, against 528,678 the year before — down 16.6% — while the refusal rate went from 35% to 31.3%. That easing meant roughly 16,486 more applicants were issued a visa than 2024's rate would have produced.

Context for Algeria applicants
Algerian applicants see elevated refusal rates, especially for Schengen; documented finances and ties to home are decisive. Your personal profile matters far more than any nationality-level pattern, so focus on the levers above.
Avoid the common pitfall
The most frequent reason this route fails is a vague itinerary or thin finances that make your return look uncertain. Address it directly and you remove the biggest doubt.
Frequently asked questions
Is there an official Ireland tourist visa success rate for Algerian citizens?
Not one we currently carry. We only print a rate when we hold the publisher's own figure for this nationality and this visa category, and we do not hold one for Ireland tourist visas. The figure shown on this page is a modelled estimate built from published route-level data and your answers — we label it as such rather than presenting it as a government statistic. What you can act on is the documented requirement set below, which is what the decision actually turns on.
What matters most for a Ireland tourist visa?
Officers focus on whether you are a genuine visitor who will return home on time. In practice the single biggest lever is return intent, so make that part of your application as strong and well-documented as possible.
Does a previous visa refusal affect my chances?
Yes. A prior refusal weighs on new applications until its underlying reason is addressed. Find out exactly why you were refused, fix what caused it, and clearly show what is different this time.
Is this a guarantee of approval?
No. GetVisaOdds is an educational planning tool, not legal advice and not a guarantee. Only a consular or immigration officer can decide your application. We show approximate odds and the reasons behind them so you can prepare better.
Is my information private?
