Do Ivorians need a visa?

How long can citizens of Côte d'Ivoire stay in Tunisia?

Timing and tips

What to show at the border of Tunisia
Documents required for a visa for Tunisia:
- Passport valid 3 months beyond departure
- Return or onward ticket
- Proof of accommodation
- Proof of sufficient funds
Entry requirements
Carry a passport valid for the whole stay; the embassy of Tunisia can confirm any minimum validity requirement. If you are staying with a relative, keep their full address, phone number and, if possible, a copy of their residence permit or student card. A return ticket and sufficient funds may also be requested. The stay is limited to 90 days.
Documents and fees
There is no visa fee to pay. For a stay with a relative, a simple invitation letter, dated and signed, can make the exchange at the border check easier, although it does not replace any official document. If you are staying in a hotel, print the booking. Any health requirements should be checked with the Tunisian authorities before departure.
Common mistakes
Paying for a “visa” on an unofficial website or to an intermediary is pointless for a short tourist stay in Tunisia on an Ivorian passport. Another mistake is arriving without being able to give the address where you are staying, which complicates the check. Finally, extending a family visit beyond the 90 days allowed takes you outside the scope of the exemption.
Other visa types for Tunisia
A tourist stay is not the only purpose. These are the other permits the destination issues and that your nationality is eligible for, each with its own fee and processing time.
