Entry rules for France passport holders

Holders of a valid passport from France can travel to Tunisia for tourism or short business trips without applying for a visa, for stays of up to 90 days. You'll typically just need a passport valid for at least six months beyond your arrival date, and you may be asked to show proof of onward travel or sufficient funds at the border.

The 90-day limit applies to the visit itself โ€” if you plan to stay longer, work, or study in Tunisia, you'll need to apply for the appropriate visa or permit before traveling.

Entry rules can change at short notice. Always confirm current requirements with the official Tunisia immigration authority or your nearest embassy before booking.
