EU Travelers Now Need a Passport to Visit Tunisia
From January 1, 2025, tourists from Europe must have a valid passport for at least 3 months to travel to Tunisia. Presenting a national identity card is not enough to cross the country’s borders.
The new regulation confirmed by the Tunisian Embassy in France is an important change that must be considered by nationals from countries that previously could enter Tunisia only with ID.
What Changes Mean for Travelers?
Now, travelers from European countries need to plan their trips, as a passport valid for at least 3 months is necessary to cross Tunisian borders.
Those without a passport or an expired document need to start administrative procedures before the journey to Tunisia.
Also, the change can have an influence on a temporary drop in bookings. Raising awareness is crucial to help customers prepare for the trip accordingly.
What Do I Need to Prepare to Enter Tunisia as a European?
If you are an EU traveler, before you visit Tunisia, you need to:
- Have enough time for administrative formalities.
- Check the validity of the passport.
- Renew the passport as it’s necessary.
- Contact the Tunisian Embassy or Consulate for more up-to-date information.
Introduction of Tunisia Electronic Visa
Tunisia will soon introduce a new electronic visa system. The eVisa is an online permit that nationals from non-visa-free countries can obtain.
The process of getting an electronic visa consists of a few simple steps: filling out the form, paying the fee, and receiving an eVisa in PDF form. You only need a working device with an internet connection and a valid means of payment.
The initiative will enhance tourism in Tunisia, as it allows simple online visa applications.
