Visa Requirements for Tunisian Citizens
Tunisian citizens need to apply for a visa when traveling abroad, and there are a few different ways to do this: in person, through an eVisa, ETA, Visa on Arrival (VOA), or by traveling visa-free to specific destinations.
Tunisian passport holders can apply for an eVisa or ETA for 50 countries, and both options can be done online.
For 31 countries, a Visa on Arrival (VOA) is available. If a sticker or stamped visa is needed, you must visit the country’s embassy or consulate. Some countries allow you to book an appointment online before going to the embassy or consulate, depending on their policies.
The main entry requirement for Tunisian travelers is a valid passport with at least six (6) months of validity from the entry date.
With a passport ranking 61st globally, Tunisians can visit 35 countries without needing a visa.
Visa requirements can vary by country, so it’s best to check the specific entry rules before applying.
Countries Offering eVisa and ETA to Tunisians
An eVisa is a digital visa that is applied and processed online. You can apply for it without visiting the embassy or consulate of the destination country. Once approved, it can be stored on your smartphone or printed out to present at the airport.
ETA, or Electronic Travel Authorization, is a travel permit that allows you to enter a country without needing to apply for a visa in advance. Upon arrival, you can obtain your visa directly from the immigration authorities.
Like an eVisa, an ETA can be applied for online, and it will be sent to your email. While you can travel with your eVisa anytime, an ETA has a specific time window. You must arrive at the immigration office of the destination country within that timeframe to get your visa.
If you miss the timeframe, your ETA will no longer be valid, and you will need to apply for a new one.
