New entry requirements: only with a passport to Tunisia!

New entry requirements: only with a passport to Tunisia!

From January 1, 2025, new entry requirements for German citizens will come into force in Tunisia. Entry is then only possible with a passport because the ID card is no longer accepted. A preliminary passport can also be used, but only under certain conditions, such as proof of a return flight ticket and sufficient financial resources for the stay. Likewise, Tunisian border officials can request evidence of financial means if there is no booking confirmation of a package tour, such as "https://www.wa.de/deutschland-welt/personalung-reis-auswaertiges-amt-ab-tunesien-urlaubsland-raet-pass-93497629.html"> wa> reported.

In addition, the Federal Foreign Office provides information about a travel warning for certain regions in Tunisia. This warning concerns the area south or south -east of a line from the border with Algeria via TOZEUR/NAFTA - DOUZ - KSAR Ghilane - Tataouine to Zarzis as well as the immediate border area to Algeria and mountain regions near the Algerian border (El AiOun to Kasserine). Individual, non -organized desert tours are also made under increased risk of terrorist attacks, especially in Tunis and Djerba.
The tense security situation in these regions is the reason for the warning. Likewise, a new ban in Vietnam, which will apply from 2025, is also pointed out with high punishments in the event of disregard.

safety and travel instructions

The Federal Foreign Office points out that no vaccinations from Germany are prescribed for entry into Tunisia, but standard vaccinations are recommended. Medical care is good in Tunis, but limited outside the city. In the case of road traffic, increased accident hazards can be expected and the police can carry out controls in the event of speeding. Travelers are advised to register in the crisis priority list and pursue local media.
The trade with souvenirs from animals or plants is also a topic based on strict import regulations, such as Auertiges-amt.de

those interested in traveling should find out more about the new provisions before departure and keep an eye on the security situation in Tunisia.
