Citizens from many countries do not need a visa for entry into Tunisia for stays of up to 90 days. For the visa application, travelers should visit the website of the Tunisian embassy. Visas are not available on-site, so this should be done in advance.
The Tunis-Carthage Airport is the best airport for international travelers and is located about 8 km from the capital Tunis. Alternatively, airports in Monastir and Enfidha are good options, especially for beachgoers. These airports offer numerous connections to international destinations.
The local currency is the Tunisian Dinar (TND). Credit cards are accepted in large cities and tourist areas, but cash is often necessary, especially in rural areas. It is recommended to withdraw cash from ATM machines or exchange money at exchange offices to get the best rate.
There are no mandatory vaccinations required for Tunisia, but vaccinations against Hepatitis A, Typhoid, and Tetanus are recommended. A travel insurance is also advisable to protect against unexpected medical costs. Check the local health service for recommendations that are relevant to your situation.
To drive in Tunisia, you need an international driver's license along with your national driver's license. SIM cards are available in many
stores and at the airport. Providers like Ooredoo and Orange offer affordable prepaid rates. Charging is easy at points of sale or via mobile applications.
