Philippines to Tunisia visa requirements

Yes, a visa is required. Philippine ordinary passport holders must obtain a Tunisian tourist (sticker) visa from a Tunisian diplomatic mission before traveling — there is no visa-free entry, no visa on arrival, and no functioning e-visa as of mid-2026. A Philippine ordinary passport holder traveling to Tunisia for tourism needs a visa obtained in advance from a Tunisian embassy or consulate. The Philippines is not on Tunisia's visa-exempt list (only Filipino diplomatic passport holders enjoy a 90-day waiver). Tunisia has no general visa-on-arrival facility for Filipinos, and although the country had planned an electronic visa platform, the August 2025 e-Visa tender was declared unsuccessful, so no e-visa is operational. Tunisia is not part of the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply. There is only an honorary consulate in Manila (which generally does not issue visas); the accredited mission for the Philippines is typically the Tunisian Embassy in Tokyo or Beijing, so applications are usually mailed/submitted there. The standard tourist visa is a short-stay visa valid for entry within 3 months and permitting stays of up to 90 days. Applicants should budget extra time as cross-border processing through a non-resident embassy can take 2-4 weeks. Conservatively, this route is classified visa-required.

Tunisia does not offer a general visa-on-arrival facility to Philippine passport holders; entry requires a pre-issued visa.
High

No functioning e-visa

Medium
/04
Limited local representation
Only an honorary consulate exists in Manila; visa issuance typically routes through Tokyo or Beijing, adding time.
Medium
/05
Diplomatic-passport-only waiver
