Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must cover entire stay | Your passport must be valid for the full duration of your 90-day stay. Tunisia does not enforce a 6-month validity rule beyond your departure date, but your airline may check for at least 3 months remaining. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Recommended | Immigration officers at Tunis-Carthage Airport routinely ask for proof of onward travel. Have a printed or digital copy of your return or onward ticket ready. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Recommended | Hotel booking confirmation or an invitation letter from your host in Tunisia. Officers may ask for this if you look uncertain about where you're staying. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Recommended | Cash, credit card, or bank statement showing you can support yourself. No fixed minimum amount is published, but having around 500 TND (approx. $160 USD) per week in cash or card access is sensible. | Recommended |
Visa-free entry is straightforward
Indonesian passport holders get 90 days visa-free in Tunisia. No application, no fee, no embassy visit. Just show up with a valid passport and a return ticket.
Overstaying is not an option
The 90-day stay cannot be extended. If you overstay, you risk fines and a re-entry ban. Set a reminder to leave before day 90.
What happens at the border
1
Prepare your documents before departure
Print or save digital copies of your passport (photo page), return ticket, and first night's accommodation. Also download an offline map of Tunis or your destination — mobile data can be patchy at the airport.
2
Arrive at Tunis–Carthage Airport (or other entry point)
At Tunis–Carthage Airport, follow signs to 'Passport Control' (Passeport). Join the queue for non-Tunisian nationals. Have your passport and boarding pass ready. The officer will check your passport validity, stamp your entry, and may ask for your return ticket or accommodation. Answer clearly and politely.
3
Collect your luggage and exit
After passport control, proceed to baggage claim. Then walk through the green 'Nothing to Declare' channel unless you have goods to declare. That's it — you're in.

Frequently asked questions
No. The visa-free entry is not extendable. You must leave Tunisia before the 90 days are up. Overstaying can result in fines or a ban from re-entry.
No. There is no online arrival declaration required for Indonesian passport holders. You just show your passport and boarding pass at passport control.
You will likely be denied boarding by your airline or refused entry at Tunisian immigration. Renew your passport before you travel.
Yes, the same visa-free rules apply at land borders (e.g., from Algeria or Libya) and at seaports (e.g., from Italy or Malta). Just have your passport and return ticket ready.
No, it's not mandatory for entry. But it's strongly recommended because medical costs in Tunisia can be high, and your Indonesian health insurance likely won't cover you abroad.
The local currency is the Tunisian dinar (TND). Euros and US dollars are not widely accepted outside tourist areas. Exchange money at banks or official exchange offices — avoid street changers. ATMs are common in cities.
No mandatory vaccinations for Indonesian passport holders. Routine vaccines (hepatitis A, typhoid) are recommended. Check with your doctor 4–6 weeks before travel.
