Visa-free for tourism — stays of up to 3 months
Good news for Ukrainian passport holders: Tunisia does not require a visa for a tourist stay. You can stay up to 3 months with just a valid passport — one of the most accessible destinations for Ukrainian travellers.
On arrival
Present a valid passport (allow 6 months' validity to be safe, as some airlines require it): the officer applies the entry stamp. Keep your return ticket and accommodation address (hotel or host) to hand, as they may be requested. An entry card is filled in on board or on arrival — keep the slip you are given, as it is sometimes requested on departure.
How long can you stay
The visa-free stay is limited to 3 months. Beyond that, an extension must be requested from the Tunisian authorities before expiry — plan ahead, the procedure is slow. Overstaying exposes you to a fine payable when leaving the country.
Money: the dinar rules
The Tunisian dinar is a non-exportable currency: you can neither bring it in nor take it out. Exchange money locally (banks, licensed exchange offices) and keep the receipts carefully: they are required to convert your remaining dinars back before departure. On arrival, declare large amounts of foreign currency.
Good to know on the ground
Cards work in hotels, big chains and tourist areas, but cash remains essential elsewhere. With no regular direct flights from Ukraine, most routes go through Istanbul or another hub: check the transit rules of the connecting country before booking.
Common mistakes
Travelling on a passport close to expiry. Keeping dinars when leaving (they will be lost or confiscated without exchange receipts). Assuming a quick border run 'resets the clock' — repeated, closely-spaced entries can be refused. And forgetting that the exemption covers tourism only: working or settling requires a residence permit.
Best time to travel
Tunisia has a Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and mild winters. The best times to visit are generally spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November), when temperatures are comfortable. It is advisable to avoid the very hot summer months, especially July and August, particularly in inland areas.
Main arrival airports
The main international airports in Tunisia are Tunis-Carthage Airport (Tunis), Enfidha-Hammamet Airport, and Djerba-Zarzis Airport. These airports serve the country's major cities and tourist regions, providing convenient access to various parts of Tunisia.
Documents to prepare
A valid passport is required for entry into Tunisia. It is recommended to have a return or onward ticket, along with proof of accommodation (hotel reservations, invitations, etc.). Travel insurance covering health and liability is also advised.
