Spain to Tunisia visa requirements

Spanish ordinary passport holders can travel to Tunisia visa-free for tourism and short visits of up to 90 days within any 6-month period. No advance visa, eVisa, or visa-on-arrival is required: you receive a free entry stamp at the border. Spain is an EU member state, and Tunisia grants visa-free entry to most EU nationals (Cyprus excluded) for tourism and short stays of up to 90 days (3 months) per visit. A Spanish citizen holding an ordinary passport does not need to apply for any visa, eVisa, or electronic authorization in advance, nor pay a visa-on-arrival fee. On arrival at a Tunisian airport, port, or land border, immigration officers issue a free short-stay entry stamp. Travelers must present a valid passport (note that since 1 January 2025 a national ID card is no longer accepted for some routings, so always carry a passport), and may be asked for proof of onward/return travel, confirmed accommodation, and sufficient funds. A small number of visitors have been refused entry or delayed for failing to evidence accommodation, so carry hotel bookings. Stays beyond 90 days require leaving and re-entering or applying for a residence permit (carte de sejour) at the central police station before the stamp expires; overstaying triggers a fine payable on departure. Tunisia is not in the Schengen area, so the EU Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply to entering Tunisia. This verdict is confirmed by the Tunisian visa policy, UK FCDO travel advice, and multiple visa-information services.
