Why this verdict
Algerian citizens are treated as visa-free because Mali's official mission visa page lists this nationality in the no-visa cohort, and the official MDC checker confirms no-visa treatment for Algeria/Morocco control flows. The checker country value used for this passport is "Algérie". This guidance is intentionally conservative: ordinary passport, short tourism/visitor travel only. Work, study, residence, diplomatic/service passports, special travel documents, security restrictions, airline checks, health rules, consular-depot handling and border discretion can change the practical answer. Reconfirm with Mali's official missions portal or a Malian mission before booking.
Conditional rules

The checked official Mali source does not publish a universal stay limit for this exemption cohort. Confirm longer stays, work, study, residence and non-tourist travel with a Malian mission.
- Traveller is not covered by the named nationality exemption or uses a special/refugee/temporary document Visa required
The no-visa wording is nationality-specific and should not be inferred to other documents or statuses.

This row covers ordinary-passport visitor travel only. Use the relevant Malian mission, visa or residence route for non-tourist, residence or special-document travel.
