Algeria visa at the NYC consulate without LOI or itinerary — refundable hotel + flight booking was enough; $160, passport back in 10 days, 2-year multiple entry. Airport immigration grilled me for 45 minutes (Afghanistan visa curiosity, phone photos browsed) then turned friendly — three officers ended up following me on Instagram. Exchange dollars with the parallel market contacts (~220 DZD/USD). Casbah fine to walk, people exceptionally kind.
