Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must cover your entire stay in Tunisia | Your passport needs to be valid for at least the duration of your stay. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires before you leave Tunisia, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Tunisia | Immigration officers routinely ask for a return or onward ticket. Have a printed or digital copy of your outbound flight booking ready — they will check the date matches your 90-day visa-free limit. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a printed hotel confirmation or a letter from your host with their address and phone number. Officers at Tunis-Carthage Airport occasionally ask where you are staying. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Cash, cards, or bank statement | Have a bank statement or credit card showing you can cover your stay. Immigration rarely asks for this, but having it avoids delays if they do. | Recommended |
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Tunisian immigration will deny entry if your passport has less than 6 months of validity remaining from your arrival date. Airlines also check this before boarding. Renew early if needed.
Keep a copy of your return ticket
Immigration officers at Tunis-Carthage Airport frequently ask to see a return or onward ticket. A screenshot on your phone is acceptable, but having a printed copy is even safer.
