- Housing / Land
- AADL 3 public housing is a priced rent-to-own path with instalment payments. No open ordinary no-payment house or productive land right was substantiated.
- Healthcare
- Algeria maintains a large subsidized public health system, but the WHO country summary used for this pass does not independently establish comprehensive nationwide no-payment care, medicines and reliable access; only conservative partial credit.
- Transport
- No reliable national ordinary zero-fare transport entitlement was verified from reviewed national sources; remains a documented research gap rather than a claim of absolute nonexistence.

Algeria: October 18 2026 country research assessment. UNHCR supports Sahrawi refugee camps near Tindouf and urban refugees, while noting gaps in asylum law and risks of refoulement. The Algerian National Tourism Office reports a specific Sahara tourist visa-on-arrival facilitation initiative as of July 2026; this is not nationwide open eVisa access. Reforms in 2005 enabled an Algerian mother to transmit nationality to children, including children born abroad, but this is not unconditional birthright citizenship for every child born on Algerian soil. Score reflects four TBF beleshky judgments, some proxy-supported or extrapolated. Source availability and measured completeness are separate from 100% scoring coverage.

Water scarcity, youth employment pressure, regional distance, hydrocarbon dependence, climate/desertification risk and material-return gaps remain important frictions. This category remains evidence-only.

Algeria: October 18 2026 country research assessment. UNHCR supports Sahrawi refugee camps near Tindouf and urban refugees, while noting gaps in asylum law and risks of refoulement. The Algerian National Tourism Office reports a specific Sahara tourist visa-on-arrival facilitation initiative as of July 2026; this is not nationwide open eVisa access. Reforms in 2005 enabled an Algerian mother to transmit nationality to children, including children born abroad, but this is not unconditional birthright citizenship for every child born on Algerian soil. Score reflects four TBF beleshky judgments, some proxy-supported or extrapolated. Source availability and measured completeness are separate from 100% scoring coverage.
