Answer 1

In most cases you'll be okay, but to make sure, double check your requirements. For that it will depend on which country you are coming from and whether you need a visa or not. Let me explain:

Nationals of Britain, Canada, USA, EU, and Japan can stay up to 4 months without a visa, but require visas for longer stays. (IF YOU ARE FROM ONE OF THESE COUNTRIES, YOU'LL BE FINE WITH THE PASSPORT YOU HAVE NOW)

Nationals of Australia can stay one month without a visa, but require visas for longer stays.

Nationals of Australia and South Africa, who do need a visa, can obtain it on arrival, at point of entry. Check with the Embassy for details of length of stay.

Nationals of Brazil and Russian Federation do not require visas if going on a package holiday.

Those who need visas are nationals of:
Algeria, Antigua & Barbuda, Argentina, Bahrain, Barbados, Bermuda, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Brunei, Bulgaria, Chile, Côte d'Ivoire, Croatia, Dominica, Falkland Islands, Fiji, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Gambia, Gibraltar, Guinea Republic, Honduras, Hong Kong, Hungary, Iceland, Kiribati, Korea (Rep. of), Kuwait, Libya, Liechtenstein, Malaysia, Mali, Malta, Mauritania, Mauritius, Monaco, Montserrat, Morocco, Niger, Norway, Oman, Qatar, Romania, St Kitts & Nevis, St Lucia, St Vincent & the Grenadines, San Marino, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Seychelles, Slovenia, Solomon Islands, Switzerland, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, Vatican City and Virgin Islands

Answer 2

oh it would probably be fine, depends if you want to chance it. I've travelled on a passport with a lot less than six months left on it, I did it a few times and one of the places was Tunisia! I didn't realise tho at the time... I had a friend who went to Thailand on a passport that was just out of date, and he was fine too. That said you've got plenty of time to renew your passport. It'll be worth it to get it out of the way, then you don't have to bother for ten years! The passport office does (or did a year ago) a 'check & send' service through the post office that takes 2 weeks total. It's not guaranteed but there shouldn't be any problem, as long as you've got your old passport and there are no complications (like you haven't changed your name or what have) then you'll definitely get a new passport in good time for your trip to Tunisia. Also the Government is introducing ID cards and when that goes through the way they're going to do it is make you register (AND PAY FOR) an ID card at the same time as renewing your passport. It'll cost about £80, so if you don't want to fork out the cash get your passport renewed now!!!

Answer 3

I went to Tunisia for a week long holiday. I did have my passport stamp but didn't have to pay a fee so I think if you are a UK national you should be OK! However, Tunisia is NOT in Europe so really you need to have 6 months on your passport. I'd go since the wors tthat could happen is that you are denied entry and can't have your holiday. If you don't try then you definately wont have a holiday!!!

Answer 4

Good morning Loo, good morning every body,
If your a British or European citizen and you come with a travel agency, you don't have to worry. even for the passport it'll be ok.
Just to be double sure you can call the Tunisian Tourist Board from your city (I think it's a toll free ), they will give you the appropriate answer.

I have no idea. You should speak to the Tunisian embassy for a definitive answer. Searching the Foreign Office website http://www.fco.gov.uk/servlet/Front?pagename=OpenMarket/Xcelerate/ShowPage&c=Page&cid=1007029396086, the phone number for the Tourism Office in the Tunisian embassy in London is 020 7224 5561.
