Travellers from the Netherlands do not apply for a visa for a tourist stay in Tunisia, but border control still asks for a file.
A passport from the Netherlands lets you stay in Tunisia without a visa for tourism, for up to 90 days. Nothing needs to be arranged before departure: you only have to meet the entry conditions checked at the border.
For Dutch travelers, a tourist trip to Tunisia requires neither a visa nor any prior authorization. The points to watch are elsewhere: passport validity, proof of return travel and accommodation, the 90-day maximum stay and websites that charge tourists from the Netherlands for so-called visas.

No visa is required of Dutch passport holders for a tourist stay in Tunisia, and no form has to be submitted in advance. The exemption covers a maximum of 90 days on Tunisian soil. An extended business stay, studies or relocation fall under other rules, which the Tunisian embassy or consulate can explain before you leave.
90 days
Visa-free entry allows a stay of 90 days. To stay longer, study or work, a visa is generally required.
No application means no processing time: preparation comes down to checking your documents well before departure. If your passport needs renewing, start the process in the Netherlands early enough. Review the entry conditions with the Tunisian authorities just before you travel, then, once there, keep the 90-day limit in mind.
Documents required for a visa for Tunisia:
Your Dutch passport must be valid at the time of the border check; for the remaining validity required, contact the Tunisian embassy or consulate. The officer may also ask for a return or onward ticket and the address of your accommodation. If you are traveling on a package holiday, keep the travel agency’s documents with your passport.
No visa fee is payable, since this stay does not require a visa. Bring your passport, your accommodation confirmation, your return ticket and the means to fund your stay. For any other document that may be required in your situation (a minor traveling alone, a purpose other than tourism), the Tunisian embassy or consulate remains the reference.



Some websites sell tourists a “Tunisia e-visa”: Dutch travelers on a short tourist stay have no visa to buy, so paying for one is pointless. Other mistakes include staying beyond 90 days without authorization, or leaving with a passport whose validity was never checked. A quick review of your documents before departure avoids these situations.
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.
