Thailand to Tunisia visa requirements

Yes, a visa is required. Holders of an ordinary Thailand passport are not on Tunisia's visa-exemption list and must obtain a paper (embassy/consulate) visa before traveling. Tunisia has no operational eVisa or visa-on-arrival for Thai nationals as of mid-2026. An ordinary Thailand (TH) passport holder needs a visa to enter Tunisia (TN) for tourism. Tunisia grants visa-free entry to roughly 90+ nationalities, but Thailand is not among the exempt countries for ordinary passports - only Thai diplomatic and official/service passport holders enjoy a 90-day visa waiver. Thailand is also absent from Tunisia's special "organized package tour" exemption list. Tunisia announced plans for a national e-Visa platform under its Digital Tunisia 2025 strategy, but the development tender was declared unsuccessful in August 2025, so no eVisa is operational and there is no general visa-on-arrival for Thai travelers. The only available route is a sticker/paper visa obtained in advance from a Tunisian embassy or consulate (Tunisia has no resident embassy in Bangkok; jurisdiction is typically handled via the Tunisian mission accredited to the region, e.g. Beijing/Tokyo, or by applying at the nearest consulate). Tunisia is in North Africa and is NOT part of the Schengen Area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply. Travelers should apply well in advance, budget for embassy processing times that can run two to several weeks, and confirm the responsible consulate's current document checklist before booking non-refundable travel. Several travel aggregator pages incorrectly state "visa-free 30-90 days" for Thai citizens; this conflicts with Tunisia's official exemption list and should be disregarded - default to applying for a visa.
