Canada to Tunisia visa requirements

No visa required. Canadian ordinary passport holders can enter Tunisia visa-free for tourism. Tunisia grants Canadian citizens an extended visa-free stay of up to 4 months (most other nationalities get 90 days); the Government of Canada conservatively advises stays of up to 90 days. Just arrive with a passport valid at least 6 months beyond your departure date. A Canadian citizen holding an ordinary passport does not need a visa for a short tourist visit to Tunisia. Tunisia's visa policy lists Canada among the nationalities granted visa-free entry, and uniquely allows Canadians a stay of up to 4 months without a visa (compared with the standard 90 days for most visa-exempt nationals). The Government of Canada's official travel advisory states no visa is required for tourist stays of up to 90 days. There is no advance application, no eVisa, and no visa-on-arrival process for short tourist visits; you simply present your passport at the port of entry. Your passport should be valid for at least 6 months beyond your planned departure date and ideally have at least two blank pages. Tunisian border officers may ask for proof of onward or return travel and accommodation details even though no visa is needed. If you intend to stay beyond the permitted visa-free period, you must apply through a Tunisian embassy/consulate for a long-stay visa and residence permit. This verdict was verified against the Government of Canada travel advisory and Tunisia's published visa policy as of 2026-05-31.
