Malaysia to Tunisia visa requirements

Malaysian ordinary passport holders can visit Tunisia visa-free for tourism, with stays of up to 90 days. No visa, eVisa, or visa-on-arrival is required. As of June 2026, Malaysia is on Tunisia's visa-exemption list, so an ordinary Malaysian passport holder may enter Tunisia for tourism or short visits without any visa for up to 90 days. Tunisia is in North Africa and is not part of the Schengen Area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and the EU ETIAS scheme do not apply. At immigration you simply receive an entry stamp. The main requirements are a passport valid for at least six months beyond your stay, proof of onward or return travel, and evidence of sufficient funds and accommodation. There is no application fee and no advance paperwork for a standard tourist visit. Stays beyond 90 days require a long-stay visa and a residence permit obtained through Tunisian authorities. Always reconfirm with your airline or a Tunisian diplomatic mission shortly before travel, as policies can change.
