For U.S. passport holders no tourist visa is required for stays under 90 days — you enter visa-free and receive your stamp on arrival.
Tunisia's MFA portal lists the nationalities exempt for stays under 4 months — Canada, Germany and the United States — and its visa-regime table shows no entry visa for the row "Etats Unis d'Amérique". Plan around the stricter 90-day figure unless the embassy confirms otherwise.
A valid passport is required; if you intend to stay longer than 90 days you need a residence permit, obtained from the central police station of your district of residence in Tunisia.
On arrival, carry a passport that meets the 6-month validity guidance with a blank page for the stamp, and declare cash over TND 10,000 (about USD 3,000) if you bring it in.

알아두면 좋은 정보
- Tunisia expects dual American-Tunisian citizens to enter and exit Tunisia on their Tunisian passports — if you enter on a U.S. passport you will still need a valid Tunisian passport to leave.
- Tunisian currency may not be imported or exported: declare foreign cash above the thresholds on arrival, and keep exchange receipts — undeclared excess amounts are confiscated at departure.
- Tunisia's MFA lists the US exemption as "stays under 4 months", while the State Department's operational guidance is 90 days — plan to 90 days unless the Tunisian embassy confirms otherwise.
- Visa-free entry is for visits — it does not authorize employment in Tunisia.
