Your situation
- Travel of a minor
- You're Franco-Algerian
- The minor travels alone or with another person
You are subject to the regulations applicable to Algerians.
FYI
a Franco-Algerian minor must, in addition to his or her valid French passport, have a valid Algerian passport in order to leave Algeria. So he won't need a visa.
Specific conditions may apply to young people subject to military service in Algeria (e.g. census, exemption from service). It is advisable to inquire about the conditions of entry and exit in Algeria with the competent Algerian consular authority.
