hi
I worked  in arzew for 5 years. smal town but quiet one.
for what u need  as algerien we are not allowed to tresfer mony outside the country but for expat  I m not sure. what u have to do  is to cantact the BAE bank ( la banque extérieure  d'Algérie)there is to  agencies  one inside  the industriel zone  the other in the town near Tasili Hotel. u can also  ask BDL bank (banque   de développement local) they have un international systeme colled MONY GRAM also u have  WESTERN UNION   by  Société Général BANk.
if u need any other information u can cantacte me .
cheers.

Thankx for the reply @ gavioslei

I am going to contact these banks to get further information. One more thing that i will like to know here is what is the income tax rate applicable to expats in Algeria?

gavioslei

Hi engrmik how are u?
for ur  the income tax rate applicable to expats in algeria realy i have no idea so I suggests u see with your company accountant will give you more information than me.

for income tax it is 35%, you pay 9 % and your company 26 %. Regarding transfert of money, you are allowed to transfert only 60% of your salary after geting resindence and opening bank account.

@zedrek : yes it is true what are you saying. But when we send money via bank , 10000 AD will be equal to 100 euro . But in black market we have to give 14300 AD to get 100 euro . So this is the problem. In additionally when we receive money from outside algeria it is better to go through black market so you will win 43 % more than bank. This is only in algeria , in other countries the difference between black market and bank is only almost 1%

If an Algerian can change the money to foreign currency in those sort of places, will he be allowed to send the money through western union to another country??

starship

hi
for the money transfer from algeria to another country ,it depends on the first contract that u signed with your employer.
for us algerian ,if someone does not have a hard currency in the bank ,he won't receive any dollar or euro for him here in algeria.
so before u come ,please get the real information for this matter.
have a nice day

İf U book the hotel in advance and give them precise names  that's not problem and again it depends on the hotel...

Hello all I'm new to the Algeria forum so any replies and help is greatly appreciated.

I recently made a sale to a customer in Algeria who paid me via NCB bank 3 weeks ago. Until today, I have yet to receive the payment although the customer did send me the payment form. The sum of payment is about USD15k and its specified in USD.

The customer says it can take up to 4 weeks for payment to clear. My question is does anybody know would a USD payment from Algeria to Vietnam usually take so long to clear? I am supposed to ship out the products but I'm not sure if the payment has been completed.

Thanks again for any clarification which can be provided.
