Passport validity is strictly enforced
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your entry date. Airlines check this before boarding. If your passport expires sooner, you'll be turned away at the gate.
Keep your entry stamp safe
When you leave Tunisia, immigration will check your entry stamp. If it's missing or damaged, you may face delays or fines. Keep your passport in a dry, secure place.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Tunis-Carthage Airport (or other entry point)
After landing, follow signs to 'Passport Control' (Passeport). There are separate queues for Tunisian nationals and foreigners. Join the 'Foreigners' line. Have your passport and boarding pass ready.
2
Present your passport and answer questions
Hand over your passport. The officer may ask: 'How long are you staying?' 'Where are you staying?' 'What's the purpose of your visit?' Answer briefly and honestly. They'll stamp your passport with a 90-day entry stamp.
3
Collect luggage and proceed to customs
After passport control, go to baggage claim. Then walk through the green 'Nothing to Declare' channel unless you have goods to declare. No customs form is required for most travellers.
4
Exit the airport
Once through customs, you're free to leave. Taxis and car rentals are available outside. Keep your passport and entry stamp safe — you'll need it when you leave.
