Do Polish citizens need a visa for Tunisia?
For most tourists from Poland the answer is: no. Nationals of Poland may enter Tunisia without a visa and stay there for up to 90 days, provided the trip is for tourism. However, if you plan a longer stay or hold a passport of another country (e.g. Ukraine), you may need to obtain prior authorisation from the Tunisian authorities.
Passport requirements
Although visa‑free travel remains in force, from 2025 your passport must be valid:
for at least 3 months from the planned date of departure, if you have a return ticket,
for at least 6 months, if you are travelling one way.
Lack of a valid passport means you will be refused entry and, if the document is lost, you must obtain an emergency passport that meets the same requirements.
When a visa is required
A visa is required if you hold a passport of a country whose nationals cannot enter Tunisia without a visa. We will prepare your business visa application under one of two service packages:
Standard: 5 days to prepare and lodge your application;
Premium: 2 days, and with the decision the fastest total time is 27 days.
Each package includes preparing the application in Polish, checking your documents, and fully monitoring the process until your passport with the visa is collected.
How to apply step by step
Complete a short online form – you provide basic details and the purpose of your trip.
Receive a list of required documents – a consultant will explain how to put them together.
Submit your documents – the company will file the application on your behalf.
Receive your passport with the visa – by courier or in person.
The process is transparent: at every stage you receive updates on your application status.
Visa processing time
Consular fee: the current amount is provided at the time of ordering.
Processing time: the fastest is 27 days with the Premium package.
Practical information before you travel
Tunisia has a Mediterranean climate; in summer temperatures exceed 30 °C, so pack light clothing and sunscreen. Remember it is a Muslim country – in public places it is advisable to choose modest clothing and keep quiet in places of worship.
Vaccinations: polio, tetanus, and hepatitis A and B are recommended; a yellow fever certificate is required only if you are travelling from a country where it is endemic.
Children: each child must have their own passport; written parental consent is not required for entry into Tunisia.
In case of problems, seek consular assistance – you will find the address of the Polish mission on the foreign ministry website.
Business visa for Tunisia for foreign nationals
If you hold a passport of a country whose nationals need a visa for Tunisia, we will submit your application on your behalf at the Embassy of Tunisia in Warsaw (ul. Myśliwiecka 14). A Tunisia business visa is intended for meetings and trade fairs. It is single‑entry and allows a stay of up to 30 days. On the basis of a power of attorney, we file the application on your behalf, so you do not have to go to the embassy.
Standard package: 5 days to prepare and lodge the application.
Premium package: 2 days.
Total time with the Premium package: the fastest is 27 days.
Documents for a business visa
biometric passport valid for at least 180 days after the end of the trip, with blank pages,
completed and signed visa application form,
2 colour biometric photos on a light background, preferably not older than 6 months,
invitation from a company in Tunisia on company letterhead, with your details and the purpose and dates of your visit,
letter of introduction from your employer on company letterhead, signed by authorised signatories,
return flight booking and hotel booking for the entire stay,
power of attorney authorising us to represent you before the embassy.
If instead of meetings you plan to take up employment, bear in mind that foreign nationals have limited access to the Tunisian labour market and a business visa is for meetings and trade fairs only.
Before sending the invitation and letter of introduction, check two things: the dates in both documents match your flight and hotel bookings, and the letter has been signed by an authorised signatory of the company.
Additional questions about travelling to Tunisia
Can I enter Tunisia with my national ID card?
No. A Polish national needs a passport or an emergency passport. A national ID card is not sufficient.
How can I stay in Tunisia for more than 90 days?
Apply for a residence permit at a police station. The residence card is usually issued for one or two years.
Does a child travelling with one parent need the other parent’s consent?
No. Since the 2015 amendment, a child may travel with one parent without the written consent of the other. However, an officer may request consent from the parent who is a Tunisian national.
Do Polish documents for use in Tunisia need legalisation at the embassy?
No. Tunisia has been a party to the Hague Convention since 30 March 2018, so an apostille is sufficient.
Summary
For tourists from Poland, Tunisia remains visa‑free, but from 2025 a passport is absolutely mandatory. If the purpose of your trip or your nationality requires a visa, we will submit your business visa application for you at the Embassy of Tunisia in Warsaw. Before departure, check that your passport is valid and take out travel insurance.
