Why this verdict

Algerian citizens are encoded as visa-free because Mauritania's Ministry of Foreign Affairs lists Algeria in the reciprocal visa-suppression agreements without a diplomatic/service limitation. This destination-wave matrix record is intentionally conservative: ordinary passport, short tourism/visitor travel only. Work, study, residence, diplomatic/service passports, special travel documents, airline checks, health rules, eVisa approval, biometric capture, border discretion and the live ANRPTS application flow can change the practical answer. Reconfirm with Mauritania's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, ANRPTS or a Mauritanian mission before booking.
