The Cuban embassy in Algeria has implemented a temporary suspension of its electronic visa services, effective from midnight on Thursday, October 8, 2026. Operations are scheduled to resume on Monday, October 12, 2026. Meanwhile, Romania continues to freeze its visa services in Algeria, an interruption that has been ongoing since June 2026 due to staffing shortages. Diplomatic efforts to transfer visa processing to other regional embassies have faced legal and logistical hurdles, leaving the processing of Schengen visa applications for Romania completely halted for the time being.
