Can I get help from a Tunisian embassy in Poland before I travel?
The Tunisian embassy or consulate in Poland can provide consular help before you travel; this is for consular assistance, not for applying for a visa or travel authorisation.
Do I have to apply online before I travel?
You board with your passport or temporary passport only; no electronic travel authorisation or visa application is required in advance for tourist stays up to 90 days.

Before travel, consult a provincial sanitary-epidemiological station or a tropical medicine specialist for the most up-to-date vaccination advice tailored to your itinerary.
Where do I get the visa?
