Acquisition of Algerian Nationality

Algeria is one of the countries where nationality is the most difficult to acquire in the world. Naturalization is not considered a right, but rather a privilege granted by the Algerian state.

Algerian legislation, in accordance with Article 6 of the Algerian Nationality Code, states:"A child born to an Algerian father or an Algerian mother is considered Algerian."

Furthermore, this means that even if all the necessary conditions for a naturalization application are met, it can still be refused without justification.

However, nationality can be acquired by decree if strict conditions are met, or through marriage to an Algerian citizen.
