Your project. Your expertise. Your teams. Our local presence.
Three statutory clocks decide when your teams can actually start. The employment services notify a work permit decision within 45 days of filing, and past that delay their favourable opinion is deemed acquired. The permit is issued within the 15 days that follow a favourable opinion. A mission of 3 months or less runs on a temporary authorisation that cannot be renewed more than once in the same year (decret 82-510, art. 9 and 10; loi 81-10, art. 8). No text fixes a total duration, and we do not publish one.
Entering, establishing or executing a project in Algeria involves much more than technical expertise. Foreign companies may have to deal with local regulations, workforce mobilization, administrative procedures, authorities, logistics, suppliers, accommodation, facilities, local stakeholders and day-to-day operational constraints.
When these interfaces are not anticipated and properly coordinated, they can become bottlenecks that affect mobilization, schedules, costs and ultimately project execution.
UpGrowth acts as a Local Project Support Partner for foreign companies operating, investing or executing projects in Algeria.
You focus on delivering the project. We help you navigate everything around it.
No pitch deck required. A short description of the project is enough to start.
A project can be technically ready and still lose time because:
Objective: identify friction points before they become project problems.
Scope is defined project by project. The lists below describe what an assignment can cover, not a fixed package.
Depending on the project and its requirements, we can support:
Depending on the assignment, this can include:
Depending on the project and its requirements, we can support:
Depending on the assignment, this can include:
The issue is often not the individual task. It is the interface between tasks, people and organizations.
Our role:
Objective: operational continuity.
Projects we are set up to support.
Depending on what an assignment requires, support is delivered in one of three ways.
Within our capabilities, we manage it.
Where several parties are involved, we coordinate the interfaces and the follow-up.
For regulated professions or specialist technical fields, the work is coordinated with qualified local partners.
We do not pretend to do everything. We make sure the right things are done by the right people.
We are not:
We complement the team by managing the local execution environment.
The procedures, the interfaces and the constraints as they actually work on the ground in Algeria.
Local tasks read against your critical path, not handled as isolated errands.
A single point of contact instead of a scattered set of local counterparties.
Scope adapts to the project, its stage and what your own team already covers.
The objective is not simply to complete procedures. The objective is to help your people, your operations and your project move forward.
The order of operations from award to crews on site, with the vehicle decision, every statutory deadline and every published amount in three sourced tables.
The statutory reference: who issues a work permit, which texts apply, what a complete file contains and in what order.

You don't need to know exactly what service you need. Tell us what you are trying to achieve, and what is currently making it difficult.
The texts fix stages, not a total. The employment services notify their decision within 45 days of filing, and past that delay their favourable opinion is deemed acquired (decret 82-510, art. 9). The permit is then issued within the 15 days following that favourable opinion (art. 10). Upstream of both sits the accord de principe, for which the ministry procedure guide publishes no deadline at all, and that step together with the legalisation of your diplomas is what decides the real duration. We do not publish an end to end figure and you should distrust anyone who does.
For exceptional works, a stay of not more than 15 days requires no work title, provided total cumulative presence does not exceed 3 months in the year and the works are declared to the wilaya director in charge of labour (loi 81-10, art. 9 and decret 82-510, art. 20). The 3 month figure is an ANNUAL COUNTER, not a per visit allowance, so repeated short rotations of the same crew cross it with nothing notifying you that they have.
You need one as soon as you have to issue an Algerian invoice, import equipment in your own name or employ people here. A liaison office can do none of those. Which vehicle you need, and what executing with none of them costs, is set out in full on our page on setting up after an Algerian contract award.
It is the local half of executing your project: workforce mobilisation, work titles and residence formalities, administrative procedures and the authorities behind them, logistics, suppliers, accommodation and site access, and holding a single interface across the local stakeholders. Your technical scope stays yours. What we take on is the environment around it, which is where schedules usually slip.
There is no published rate for it, because the work is defined by your scope: the number of people to mobilise, the wilayas involved, the duration and which formalities you keep in house. We quote against a written scope. We publish floor prices for the services that have them, and we do not invent one for this.
Your project. Our local support.
