The launch of the auto-entrepreneur status in Algeria has opened unprecedented horizons for local talent. But did you know that 85% of international opportunities for self-employed professionals require fluent English? Whether you are in Algiers, Oran, Constantine, or deep in the Sahara, your office is now the entire world—provided you speak the language of business.
11. Understanding the Auto-entrepreneur Status in Algeria (Law 22-23)
Since its implementation, the Auto-entrepreneur Law allows Algerians to formalize their service activities in a simplified way. With an extremely competitive tax rate (0.5% of turnover) and easy registration via the National Auto-entrepreneur Agency (ANAE), it's a revolution for the informal sector and for young graduates.
The national auto-entrepreneur portal allows you to obtain your card in just a few days. For Algerians in the diaspora wishing to invest or launch projects in Algeria, this status also offers interesting legal flexibility to test the local market without the heavy administrative burden of a SARL or EURL at the start.
However, the Algerian market alone can be limited. The goal of any ambitious auto-entrepreneur should be the export of services (IT, Design, Consulting), and this is where English comes in as the foundation of your credibility.
22. English: Your Passport for Service Export
Whether you are a developer, designer, translator, or marketing consultant, your best clients are often halfway across the world. To negotiate contracts in dollars or euros, English is not a luxury; it's a vital necessity. In fact, 60% of global knowledge and 90% of freelancing platforms (Upwork, Toptal, Fiverr) operate exclusively in English.
Enfluently helps you acquire the specific vocabulary for your field of activity:
- Developers: Understanding technical documentation and participating in 'Scrum' or 'Agile' meetings.
- Designers: Presenting your creative concepts and managing international client feedback.
- Consultants: Conducting audits and writing strategic reports with professional terminology.
33. Most In-Demand CNAE Codes Internationally
Several CNAE (Algerian Nomenclature of Activities) codes are highly sought after for remote work. Computer programming, IT systems consulting, graphic design, and digital marketing are sectors where global demand is immense.
In Algeria, holding this status allows you to legally bill your foreign clients. But having English allows you to triple your rates. An international client will pay much more for an expert capable of explaining their approach clearly in the client's own language.
44. The ANAE Guide and English
The ANAE encourages innovation. In 2026, being an auto-entrepreneur in Algeria means being a global player. Many resources on the auto-entrepreneur portal point to external markets. To read international best practice guides or use project management tools (Jira, Slack, Notion), English is everywhere.
At Enfluently, we've created "English for Entrepreneurs" modules that cover everything from sending your first prospecting email to negotiating payment terms.
55. Diaspora: A Bridge between Algeria and the World
The Algerian diaspora has a unique advantage: knowledge of foreign markets. By using the auto-entrepreneur status in Algeria to recruit local collaborators or launch sub-contracting projects, English becomes the common language to synchronize teams based in Paris, London, or Montreal with those in Algiers or Oran.

"My turnover tripled thanks to Upwork and English"
"I took the auto-entrepreneur status as soon as it launched. But at first, I only found small local clients. Enfluently helped me pass the IELTS and especially to master business English. Today, I work directly with startups in San Francisco."
