The card is strictly personal and may only be used by its holder. Bank account in Algerian dinars The dinar account is used to pay the equivalent amount of the allowance, as well as the applicable fees, taxes and commissions. Foreign currency account A foreign currency account is required for the use of the international payment card during the stay abroad. Subscription to an international payment card Subscription to an international payment card must be completed sufficiently in advance of the planned travel date. It may be completed independently of the application for the foreign exchange allowance, which may be submitted at a later stage. The card is valid for a minimum period of three (03) years. What documents are required? The application file must include the following documents: a valid passport; a copy of the passport&#8217;s first page; a copy of a valid visa, where required; a return travel ticket or a tax receipt for travel by land, in accordance with the regulations in force; proof of income. Foreign exchange allowance for minor children The holder of an international payment card may complete the subscription formalities on behalf of their eligible minor children.

Submit the travel application file to a Banque de D\u00e9veloppement Local branch. Pay the equivalent amount granted in Algerian dinars. Pay the applicable fees, taxes and commissions. Receive a document confirming payment of the equivalent amount. Access the foreign exchange allowance through the international payment card. A notation specifying the amount granted, the corresponding currency and the transaction date is entered in the beneficiary&#8217;s passport. Payment terms Payment of the equivalent amount in Algerian dinars, together with the related fees, taxes and commissions, must be made: no later than seven (07) working days before the planned travel date; exclusively through a non-cash payment instrument; from a bank account in Algerian dinars. Cash payments are not accepted under this procedure. The applicable exchange rate is the opening commercial selling rate for the relevant currency in force on the transaction date. Use of the foreign exchange allowance abroad The amount credited to the international payment card may only be used for transactions carried out abroad in connection with the travel for which the foreign exchange allowance was granted. Neither the card nor the amount granted may be assigned, lent, made available to a third party or used for any purpose other than that for which it was granted. Any action intended to enable a person other than the actual beneficiary to use the amount may expose the person responsible to the penalties provided for under foreign exchange laws and regulations.

Details on how to access these services are communicated to the cardholder when subscribing to the international payment card.
