According to the official rules of Algeria's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, except for visa-exempt cases, a foreign national must obtain a visa in advance from Algeria's diplomatic/consular representation before travelling to Algeria. Source: MFA — Entry visa to Algeria.
The main practical rule for Georgians is "where to apply": Algeria's MFA states directly that the application must be submitted to the embassy/consulate responsible for the applicant's place of habitual residence. So before gathering documents, correctly identify which Algerian mission serves your country of residence/status and verify their submission procedure. Official directory: MFA — Algerian diplomatic & consular representations abroad.
Another important detail often overlooked: Algeria's MFA emphasises that visa types are many (tourist, business, family, study, work/temporary work, medical, cultural, transit, etc.) and additional documents depend on the visa type. There is no "one universal list" — purpose and documents must match.

Check off items as you gather them
Per MFA rules, the application must be submitted to the mission/consulate responsible for your place of habitual residence. Use the official directory: https://www.mfa.gov.dz/en/embassys-locations-list
Category must match the actual purpose and documents. In case of doubt, it is better to define the purpose correctly from the start.
Form (2 copies), passport 6+ months, photos, insurance/repatriation, passport copy — plus category-specific additional documents (MFA).
Tourist: accommodation certificate (legalisation) or hotel/travel agency; business: mission letter/invitation + supporting certificate (MFA).
Submission procedures (appointment/post/in person) vary by mission; verify in advance. Dublin Embassy general info for example states that process and timelines may vary by visa type and nationality.
MFA states that chancery fees vary by country; therefore verify the final amount in your mission's requirements. Do not plan non-refundable tickets until the visa is confirmed.
Tips for a successful application
Per MFA, the amount varies by country and depends on reciprocity; some nationalities may be exempt. Source: https://www.mfa.gov.dz/services-for-foreigners/entry-visa-to-algeria (Fees may change; confirm at your mission).
