Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport must be valid for at least the full period you plan to stay in Tunisia. Airlines at departure may check this, but Tunisian immigration does not enforce a 6-month validity rule — just cover your stay dates. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Tunisia | Immigration officers at Tunis-Carthage Airport routinely ask for proof of onward travel. Have a printed or digital copy of your return flight or a ticket to your next destination ready. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a printed hotel confirmation or a letter from your host. Officers rarely ask for it, but having it avoids delays if they do. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can cover your stay | Have a bank statement or credit card ready. Officers almost never ask for it for short stays, but it's one less thing to worry about if they do. | Recommended |
No visa needed, but be prepared
Tunisian immigration rarely asks for proof of accommodation or return ticket, but airlines sometimes do at check-in. Always have a printed or digital copy of your return ticket and first night's booking.
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Airlines check passport validity at check-in. If your passport expires within 6 months of your entry date, you may be denied boarding even if Tunisia allows visa-free entry.
What happens at the border
1
Arrival at Tunis-Carthage Airport (or other entry points)
After landing, follow signs to 'Passport Control' (Passeport). Join the foreign passports queue. Have your passport and return ticket ready. The officer stamps your passport with a 90-day visa-free entry. No forms to fill, no fee.
2
Baggage claim and customs
After passport control, collect your luggage. Customs is straightforward — green channel for nothing to declare. Keep your passport handy for random checks.
3
Exit and onward travel
Once through customs, you're free to leave. Taxis and ride-hailing apps (like Bolt) are available. Have your accommodation address ready for the driver.
