Visas

 

British passport holders do not require visas for a stay of three months or less.  On arrival, security checks are sometimes run on British passport holders who are not UK-born.  This can take a few hours and such visitors are advised to be patient until clearance is given.  There is unlikely to be a similar checking process or delay on departure. 

 

Passport validity

 

You should ensure that your passport has at least six months validity before you travel to Tunisia.

Currency declarations

Tunisian regulations require you to declare on entry any large amounts of money being brought in.  You will also be asked to declare if you expect to have more than £500 on you when you leave.  The export of Tunisian dinars is expressly prohibited.  You could be required to show the currency declaration on departure.

Travelling with children

Single parents or other adults travelling alone with children should be aware that some countries require documentary evidence of parental responsibility before allowing lone parents to enter the country or, in some cases, before permitting the children to leave the country.  For further information on exactly what will be required at immigration please contact the Embassy of Tunisia in London.

Dual Nationals

Dual nationals should enter and leave Tunisia on their Tunisian passports.
