Verified practical details
You don't need a visa to enter Tunisia, but here are some practical details worth knowing before you travel:
Fee
Visa-exempt travellers pay no visa fee. The waiver of the entry and residence visa for three months is set out in Article 7 of Law 68-7 of 8 March 1968 on the condition of foreigners in Tunisia, for nationals of States that have signed an agreement abolishing that formality.
Required documents
- Passport valid for at least three months beyond the planned date of departure from the country. A national ID card alone is not accepted for entry into Tunisia.
- Arriving by sea (ferry, cruise call with disembarkation), non-residents must show a paid hotel booking and a return ticket at the port.
- Entry and exit may only take place through the border posts designated by order of the Ministry of the Interior (Article 4 of Law 68-7).
Health insurance
Not mandatory for this destination.
When travel insurance is mandatory → Travel insurance policies ↓Transit rules
Anyone staying more than three consecutive months (or more than six non-consecutive months in a year) must obtain a visa and a temporary residence card (Article 9 of Law 68-7). Transit is expressly visa-exempt in two cases under Article 7: passengers who remain on board a ship calling at a Tunisian port without disembarking, and passengers in air transit who do not leave the airport during the stopover.
