Do I need a visa for Tunisia?
Pick your nationality, your purpose and how long you'll stay — we'll tell you exactly what you need.
A few useful things to know
Disembark, walk to immigration. Hand over your passport. The officer asks where you're staying and how long. You'll get a 90-day stamp. No arrival card to fill in.
The dinar is a closed currency — you can't legally take it out. Spend it before leaving, or convert remaining notes at the airport (you'll need your original entry receipt).
Treated seriously: a fine and possible ban. If you plan to stay longer than your stamp, plan a border-run weekend.
If you're crossing into Tunisia from Algeria or Libya by road, the rules are the same but procedures slower. Carry printed proof of accommodation and an onward ticket.
Tunisia is visa-free for up to 90 days for US, UK, Canadian, Australian, and most EU passport holders. You need a passport valid for at least 3 months beyond arrival, a return ticket, and proof of accommodation. There is no visa on arrival in the EU sense — you are either visa-free or you must apply in advance at a Tunisian consulate.
