The travel allowance since July 2026: amount, card, timing, and what not to do.
Every Algerian resident aged 19 or over can buy €750 per calendar year at the official rate for a trip of at least seven days, and €300 for children aged 12 to 18. Since 19 July 2026, the allowance is paid onto an international payment card instead of in cash. Handing it over to someone else or selling it is a foreign exchange offence.
