Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport needs to be valid for at least the full period you plan to stay in Tunisia. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires before you leave, you'll be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Tunisia | Immigration officers routinely ask for a return or onward ticket at Tunis-Carthage Airport. Have a printed or digital copy of your outbound booking ready — they check this before stamping you in. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Immigration may ask where you're staying, especially if you arrive without a pre-booked hotel. A printed reservation confirmation or a letter from your host with their address works fine. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Officers rarely ask for proof of funds for short stays, but having a credit card or bank statement showing access to cash avoids delays. No fixed minimum amount is published. | Recommended |
Passport validity is critical
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you enter Tunisia. If it expires sooner, you will be denied boarding or entry. Check your passport now.
Keep a copy of your entry stamp
Take a photo of the entry stamp in your passport. It shows the date you entered and the allowed stay. This can help if there's a dispute later.

After passport control, collect your bags from the carousel. You may be asked to pass through a customs scanner. Declare any large sums of cash or restricted items.
