Tunisia lifts visa requirements for Iraqi tourists

ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - Tunisia announced on Friday it was lifting tourist visa requirements for Iraqis, a move welcomed by Baghdad.

The Tunisian foreign ministry announced in a statement it had waived “the entry visa to Tunisia for holders of ordinary Iraqi passports for tourism not exceeding 15 days (and once every 180 days), provided that they show a prior and confirmed hotel reservation with a return ticket, as of June 15, 2024.”

The Iraqi foreign ministry welcomed the move, saying it was the outcome of an Iraqi-Tunisian committee meeting led by Iraqi Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein and his Tunisian counterpart Nabil Ammar in Baghdad on May 12.

The decision was made “within the framework of strengthening bilateral relations between Iraq and Tunisia and encouraging tourism and commercial exchange between the two countries. It is expected that this decision will contribute to increasing the number of Iraqi tourists to Tunisia, in addition to enhancing economic and trade cooperation between the two countries,” said the Iraqi ministry.

The Tunisian foreign ministry also announced it was “exempting ordinary Iranian passport holders from the entry visa to Tunisia as of June 15, 2024.”
