The Embassy of Tunisia in Cairo announced new procedures allowing certain categories of Egyptians to obtain an entry visa directly upon arrival in Tunisia, whether through airports or other official entry points, without the need to obtain it in advance from the embassy.
These facilities cover businesspeople, researchers, doctors, members of prestigious professions and senior state officials, in addition to Egyptians holding a valid Schengen visa or a valid entry visa for the United States, according to an official statement issued on the Tunisian Embassy's Facebook page.
The decision also benefits tourist groups of more than 10 people, provided that the trip is made through Tunisian travel companies accredited by the Tunisian Ministry of Tourism, with a company representative present at the airport.
The statement stressed that these procedures require applicants to send advance lists of travelers' names, accompanied by the required documents, which include a detailed trip itinerary, return tickets matching the hotel booking and copies of valid passports, in addition to proof of the purpose of the visit.
According to the embassy, this step comes as part of Tunisia's keenness to strengthen cooperation with Egypt and facilitate travel, helping to boost tourism and economic exchange between the two countries.
