5. Hotel accommodation, business trip invitation letter or a notarized invitation letter if you'll be staying with family members.

• Visa processing duration: Apply at two weeks prior to your trip.
• You don't have to visit the embassy in person. I just send my documents by mail. Make sure you include a prepaid express envelope in your mail so that they can send back your passport.
• Note: Citizens of certain countries don't need visas to travel to Tunisia, confirm whether or not you need the visa before you apply for one.
• Visa duration: 90 days
• Visa on arrival: Not available currently.

Visa extension.

• Easiest way to extend your visa is by exiting then re entering Tunisia.
• My advise: If you'll be staying in Tunisia for more than 3 months, apply for a temporary residence permit that will give you time in Tunisia.

Consequences of overstaying your visa in Tunisia.

• I've overstayed my visa a few times in Tunisia, you'll pay TND 200 ($30) for every week you overstay.
