No visa on arrival — don't risk it
Tunisian passport holders cannot get a visa at the Kosovo border. Arriving without a visa means you'll be refused entry and sent back. Always secure your visa before flying.
Where to apply
Kosovo has limited diplomatic missions. Tunisian residents may need to apply at a Kosovo embassy in a neighboring country or via a designated visa application center. Contact the Kosovo Ministry of Foreign Affairs or the nearest embassy for the exact location.
