South Korea to Tunisia visa requirements

South Korean ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa for short tourist visits to Tunisia. You may enter visa-free and stay up to 90 days per visit. No prior application, eVisa, or visa-on-arrival is required. As of 2026, South Korea (Republic of Korea) is on Tunisia's visa-exemption list. Holders of an ordinary Korean passport can travel to Tunisia for tourism or short visits without obtaining any visa in advance and without a visa-on-arrival fee, staying up to 90 days (3 months) per visit. Tunisia is located in North Africa and is NOT part of the Schengen Area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply. At the border, travelers should be prepared to present a passport valid for the duration of stay (six months' validity is widely recommended and may be requested), proof of onward or return travel, evidence of accommodation, and sufficient funds. Cash carried in or out above set thresholds (the foreign equivalent of about 5,000 Tunisian dinars for non-residents) must be declared to customs. The Tunisian dinar (TND) is a closed currency and cannot legally be imported or exported. Because the visa-free entry is granted as a stamp at the point of entry, there is no government fee and no online process for short tourist stays. Travelers wishing to stay beyond 90 days, or to work, study, or reside, must obtain the appropriate visa or residence permit from Tunisian authorities. Always reconfirm with the Tunisian Embassy or your airline before departure, as entry conditions can change.
