Tunisian passport holders must obtain a visa before traveling to Singapore. There is no visa-on-arrival or eVisa option for Tunisian nationals, so you need to apply in advance through a Singapore overseas mission or an authorized visa agent. Plan ahead and ensure all required documents are ready before you travel.

No eVisa – apply in person or via agent
Tunisian citizens are not eligible for Singapore's eVisa system. Do not attempt to use an online eVisa portal – you'll waste time and money. Go through the embassy or an authorized agent.
Visa is not extendable
Your Singapore visa cannot be extended. Overstaying is a serious offense – you could be fined, jailed, or banned from re-entering. Plan your stay carefully and leave before your visa expires.
