Travelling to Tunisia and Obtaining Visa and other Matters by DrummaBoy(m): 12:53pm On Mar 09, 2012
I will be traveling to Tunisia towards the end of next month for a short course.

I have tried to see if I could get to their embassy via the internet but the address (Plot 79 Younis Bosorun Street, VI, Lagos) is like unknown on Lagos map and the phone no is not working. Does that address really exist?

Pls does anyone know anything about applying to Tunisian Embassy for visa?
What is their Visa application process, cost, etc.

I would appreciate any worthwhile explanation.

Thank You.

Well apparently, I had to answer my question myself.
So this is for the information of those who may wish to know. The Tunisian embassy located in located @ plot 79, Younis Basorun str., VI. has moved to Abuja since 2003:
Embassy of the Republic of Tunisia
Address: 11, Kainji Street, Off Lake Chad Crescent, Maitama, Abuja
Phone: +234 9 4132966-7; Fax: +234 9 4132668

Apparently all visa application to Tunisia must be done in person at that location. Thank you.

Sorry I saw this late but if it will still help: you apply in person @ the embassy and then pay a fee of N4,500 after the visa is granted.
Your visa is almost certain if you have an invite from Tunisia and your ticket and accomodation is sure.
In fact Tunisia is one country you can fly to and obtain visa at the airport b4 entering the nation only ensure your documents are sure.

Wow, It seem I am becoming an authority in Tunisia travel, lol!

Let me make it clear what informed my travel to Tunis, Tunisia, so that some people don't see it as an escape route again for Nigerians.

I was sent by office for an international training. So I needed to get visa to the country after I had been invited by the training director, my hotel accomodation secured and sundry documents obtained. When I came to Nairaland to seek info, there was virtually non. I eventually got the embassy adress in Abuja, travelled to Abuja for and applied for the visa and was granted in about 10 days. I paid N4,500 for it.

For the person asking the flight cost. Well, till today I did not find out bc the flight was paid for. I travelled with Quatar Airways with a flight to Dohar, Qatar, then unto to Tunis, Tunisia. And I came back same route. Four flight about 24 hours journey. Very hectic.

But for those who are really intent on going to Tunisia, this is what I found about the country which may help you (by the way I spent 6 days, and I enjoyed every moment of it)

1. It is a french speaking country with very few people speaking English, so arm yourself with french and Arabic to live in Tunisia.
2. It has a good and stable economy with 1 Tunisian Dinar translating to 100 naira or 1 dollar to 5 dinar ( i think!?)
3. Things are a bit more expensive in that country than Nigeria so travel with a good supply of dollars. Their economy resembles a europian economy bc they have close ties with italy and france.
4. You hardly find a Nigerian bc it is french speaking
5. Like I said b4 you can travel to Tunisia without a visa
6. Tunisia is the most liberal islamic nation in the middle east region. The men can only marry one wife. I saw so many women driving.
7. I would advice one travels to Tunisia as a proffesional or equiped with ability to make money. Find someone you can hang with for about half a year and then find your own place.
8. etc, As I find more info I would let you know.

As for cost of living, from what I experienced it is higher than that of Lagos or even Abuja. Maybe in per with living in PH. Poing is you must have a job to do! I lived in a hotel paid for by the agency that sent me for 6 days, but I still think cost of living a bit higher than that of Nigeria. Food is cheaper though. But rent and other, certainly higher. Hope that helped.

Thank you. I had a heck of a time obtaining information on how to travel to Tunisia and I thought devulging this one would ease some body's quest to travel too.

Well it is possible the tel no is non functional now. I never used it. The best bet is to visit the embassy in Abuja yourself and make inquiries or get some one to do it for you who live in ABuja
As for the documents you will need. Well everything as pertaining to your travel: passport, letter of invite from your host; accomodation proof; etc. I am sure Tunisia issues visas to people at the point of entry but they may be hard on Nigeria because of our history of dishonesty and the fact that you could have contacted their embassy in Abuja before making the journey. The people who are given such visas at the airport are mostly those without a an embassy in their country. My Ghananian friend who attended the conference with me had a heck of time with his airport officials as he had to bribe his way all to Tunis. In Muritala airport Ican assure you it will be worse off.
Good luck, guys on your travel.
