Detailed Tourist Information

Travellers from all countries into Tunisia must take a PCR test less than 72 hours before travel and carry dated evidence of a negative result.

You are also required to self-isolate for seven days on arrival in Tunisia. You should isolate at home for 7 days and pay to take a second COVID-19 PCR test, and receive a second negative result, in order to leave isolation. You need to arrive in Tunisia with evidence of a booking for this second COVID-19 PCR test (to be taken from day 5 of your isolation period). You can organise this online (http://rdvtestcovid.tn/). You are advised to confirm your appointment directly with the clinic.

You are exempt from the requirement to self-isolate if you can present evidence that you have tested positive for coronavirus at least six weeks before your departure date, or received all doses of your coronavirus vaccination. This evidence should be from the relevant health authorities or contain a QR code, (see ‘Demonstrating your COVID-19 vaccination status’ https://bit.ly/3ir0wFu).

Travellers entering Tunisia from Libya need a negative PCR test but are not currently obliged to self-isolate on arrival.

Official delegations on professional missions of less than 5 days are exempt from the self-isolation requirement but still need to present a dated negative PCR test on arrival.

The Tunisian government has also announced that travellers arriving in Tunisia as part of a tour or package holiday will not need to self-isolate on arrival, if they adhere to the following measures:

-Take a PCR test less than 72 hours before travel and show evidence of the negative test result, with the date of the test clearly labelled, at your point of departure for Tunisia.

-Present booking confirmation for a holiday organised by a tour operator.

-Remain in a bubble with the tour group for the duration of your trip, including accommodation and all travel.

-Complete this Tunisian government short online questionnaire before travelling.
