Cruise passenger visa requirements

merv

Does a passenger on a cruise ship travelling on a New Zealand passport need a Tunisian visitors visa if they do not go ashore in Tunis?
Cruise begins in Barcelona and spends one day in port of Tunis.

Merv - if you do not go ashore you will not require a visa, however, Tunis is a wonderful city and you should take the opportunity to have a look especially at the old city and the souq. If you decide to visit you will need a visa and as a NZ passport holder you must have this before you arrive in Tunis. My understanding is that NZ must apply for a visa through the Tunisia Embassy in Japan. You can go to the website and download the forms and see all the documentation you will need.

Sometimes visa is not required.
When you are visiting the port as part of an organised excursion you might not require a visa.
You should check with your travel agent.

We've recently added a new article to this forum, dealing explicitly with Visa Requirements for Cruise Passengers. Please refer to it, as I hope it'll clear up any confusion you may be experiencing.

Hello .. I'm a Canadian & my friend holds a Costa Rican passport (but born in Equador). We are on an August cruise stopping into Tunisia for 6 hours .. will my friend need a visa & if so, will they just issue it onboard ship?
