Overview

There is no 'Exit Visa' in the sense of a mandatory travel document for all foreign nationals. However, foreign nationals residing in Tunisia on a temporary residence permit must ensure their residency status is in good standing to depart and re-enter legally.

While often referred to as an 'exit visa,' this is not a separate travel document but rather a requirement to maintain valid residency status. Foreign nationals residing in Tunisia on temporary permits must ensure their paperwork is current to avoid issues at the border.

Failure to maintain valid status can result in being classified as an undesirable person, complicating future travel and residency.
