TRAVEL FROM ITALY TO TUNISIA

The Tunisian government has classified foreign countries into 3 categories, to which different restrictive measures will be applied (green category: low diffusion; orange category: medium diffusion; red category: countries at risk).
The lists will be updated periodically based on the trend of contagion in individual countries and can be consulted at the link: http://www.santetunisie.rns.tn.
In the assessment, the passenger’s country of residence will be considered, who must in any case fill in a form on their health (also online http://coronavirus.rns.tn/fiche-sanitaire2020/fiche-sanitaire/fiche.php) before to start the journey (HEALTH CARD MODEL).

Green category: passengers from countries included in the green category are not subject to special restrictive measures. ITALY is included in the green category.

Orange category: passengers from countries included in the orange category must compulsorily present a laboratory certificate during the check-in phase, certifying the negative result of the COVID-19 test (RT test – PCR) carried out in the 72 hours prior to travel and which however, it does not exceed 120 hours from the date of issue upon entry into Tunisia.
Upon arrival in Tunisia from orange countries the following measures apply:

For Tunisians residing abroad and for foreigners residing in Tunisia (with domicile in Tunisia):
1) Obligation to submit a self-isolation declaration for 14 days and to perform a second test if Covid19 symptoms occur;
2) after the sixth day of home stay on request and at the expense of the interested party, the possibility of taking tests.
For tourists and Tunisians staying in the hotel:
1) Transfer of tourist groups by escorted bus to the hotels declared compliant with the Tourism Health Protocol, monitored stay in the hotel with the possibility of movement outside the hotel only for organized visits (museums, monuments, archaeological sites) in compliance with the protocol health of each site;
2) possibility of carrying out Covid tests (RT –PCR) at one’s own expense after the sixth day of stay in Tunisia to leave the monitored stay or at the request of the country of residence.

Given the closure of the borders between Tunisia and Algeria and Libya, passengers of Algerian and Libyan nationality cannot be boarded. We recommend consulting the Tunisian embassy / consulate for more details.

Since the provisions are constantly updated, we ask all passengers traveling to Tunisia to take information from the competent authorities, such as, for example, the embassy and consulates, independently.
