Recent figures from the French Interior Ministry illustrate a contrasting picture for Algerian nationals residing in France throughout 2025. By the end of the year, there were 616,419 valid Algerian residency certificates, representing a minor 0.4% increase compared to 2024. Conversely, the volume of new documents issued fell by 7.1% to 26,800, and renewals decreased by 3.5% to 121,110. Meanwhile, the broader category of all valid residence permits and provisional documents held by Algerians rose by 1.3%, totaling 658,232. These statistics represent administrative records rather than changes to the legal framework established by the 1968 agreement, and do not account for those who have acquired French citizenship.
