AlmerÃa to Oran Ferry: Boat to Algeria, Car, Visa and Documents
With Balearia · from 10 h
The AlmerÃa to Oran ferry links the port of AlmerÃa with Oran, in western Algeria. It is run by Baleà ria, with only a few sailings a week: check the search tool for the days a ferry runs.
Algeria requires Spanish citizens to have a visa and does not issue it at the border. Apply at least four weeks ahead; if you live in Andalusia, at the Consulate General of Algeria in Alicante.
With an Algerian passport or dual nationality, Algeria treats you as an Algerian. To return to Spain as a non-EU national, bring a valid passport and a valid residence permit, or a Schengen visa.
GNV does not sail from Spain to Algeria.

Who runs the AlmerÃa to Oran ferry
The AlmerÃa–Oran route is run by Baleà ria, which links Barcelona, Valencia, Alicante and AlmerÃa with Algiers and Oran, among other Algerian ports. The Algeria lines of the former Naviera Armas (now run by Baleà ria) were transferred to Baleà ria.
With GNV there is no AlmerÃa–Oran route: its lines to Algeria leave from Sète and Civitavecchia.

AlmerÃa to Oran ferry with a car
Oran is a common destination for people travelling with a fully loaded car. This is what Baleà ria requires on its Algeria lines:
- No temporary plates and no crossed-out carte grise.
- If you are not the owner driving, an original written authorisation signed by both and stamped by a notary, town hall or public body, with a copy of the ID card or passport of both.

A non-resident may keep the car in Algeria under temporary import for up to 90 days, extendable by another 90 days with customs authorisation, and it must leave with the person who imported it. In summer Algeria has restricted new cars, cars less than three years old and goods vehicles; check whether it affects you before booking.

Baleà ria accepts pets: up to 10 kg in a carrier in the lounges, a pet-friendly cabin (maximum two animals) and a kennel on some ships. Add your pet when booking to see availability.
