Netherlands to Tunisia visa requirements

No visa is required. Netherlands ordinary passport holders can enter Tunisia visa-free for tourism for up to 90 days (3 months) per visit. As an EU member-state national, a Dutch ordinary passport holder may travel to Tunisia for tourism without any visa for stays of up to 90 days (3 months) per visit. Tunisia is not part of the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply here; instead this is a separate Tunisian visa exemption. At the airport or port of entry, travelers complete a short arrival/embarkation card and pass immigration. To qualify you need a passport valid for the duration of your stay (six months' validity beyond your stay is strongly recommended and often expected), proof of onward or return travel, confirmed accommodation, and sufficient funds. The exemption covers tourism and short visits only; it does not permit paid work. Overstaying the 90-day limit triggers fines payable on departure, so stays longer than three months require a long-stay visa and a residence permit obtained locally in Tunisia. Always reconfirm requirements close to departure, as policies can change.
