Visa for Tunisia from Egypt: price, documents and processing time 2026

Yes. A passport from Egypt does not allow entry into Tunisia without a visa obtained in advance. The application is made at the embassy or a consulate of Tunisia competent for your place of residence, or at the designated application centre, where you must attend in person. Choose the visa category matching the real purpose of your trip: tourism, family visit, business or study.

The published fee is the government charge alone. Two or three other lines are added before the visa is in the passport, and they are what makes the final bill.

• Government feeNot published in a source we can verify

  Paid to the state, non-refundable if the visa is refused.

• Application centre feeVariable, set by the operator

  Only when the post uses an external centre. The amount is set locally and we do not publish a figure we cannot verify.

• Agency or online serviceOptional, added on top

  Never compulsory. An intermediary fills the form for you, it does not change the decision or the processing time.

• ExtrasVariable

  Courier return, SMS tracking, compliant photo, insurance, sworn translation or legalisation, depending on what the post requires.

We only display amounts published by an official source. Confirm the total before paying anything.

In principle, plan for the completed form, recent passport photos, a valid passport, a hotel booking or proof of accommodation, a return flight reservation, proof of sufficient funds and travel insurance. A business trip or family visit may require an invitation letter. Visa fees are not confirmed here: the Tunisian mission will indicate the amount.

Start by reading the instructions of the competent Tunisian mission, then book an appointment as it specifies. Complete the application form, gather the supporting documents and attend the appointment with your passport. Officers may ask you questions about your stay; afterwards, keep the submission receipt until a decision is made.

Then the application goes to the post accredited for Egypt, often in a neighbouring capital, or to a state acting on its behalf. Confirm which post is competent with the official source before travelling to a third country to apply, a rejected file at the wrong counter costs the trip and the fee.

The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Egypt but travel on another country's passport, the rule on this page is not yours. Filing usually still happens from your country of residence, at the post competent for it, but the requirement itself comes from your passport.

Processing times vary by period and by mission, and none is confirmed here: submit your file as early as possible. Opt for changeable or refundable bookings, and do not buy final tickets before you have the visa. When your passport is returned, check the visa’s validity period, the number of entries allowed and the accuracy of your personal details.

Submitting an incomplete file or inconsistent documents, such as hotel dates that do not match the flight reservation, can slow down processing. Paying an intermediary who promises a guaranteed visa speeds nothing up: only the Tunisian mission decides. Finally, buying a non-refundable ticket before the visa is issued means risking its loss if the visa is refused or delayed.
