Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |

Passport validity is strictly enforced
Airlines check your passport validity at check-in. If it's less than 6 months from your arrival date, you won't be allowed to board. Double-check before you go.
No visa, but keep documents handy
Even though you don't need a visa, immigration may ask for your return ticket and accommodation details. Have them ready on your phone or printed.
What happens at the border
1
Prepare your documents before departure
Check your passport validity (6+ months from arrival). Book your return ticket and first night accommodation. Save all confirmations as screenshots on your phone or print them out.
2
Arrive at Tunis-Carthage Airport (or other entry point)
At the airport, follow signs to 'Passport Control' (Passeport). Join the queue for non-Tunisian nationals. Have your passport and boarding pass ready.
3
Present your passport at immigration
Hand over your passport. The officer may ask your purpose of visit, length of stay, and where you're staying. Answer clearly. They'll stamp your passport with a 90-day entry.
4
Collect your luggage and exit
After passport control, proceed to baggage claim, then customs. There's usually no customs declaration for personal items. Walk through the green channel unless you have goods to declare.

You will likely be denied boarding by the airline or refused entry at Tunisian immigration. Renew your passport before traveling. There are no exceptions for short stays.
