Tunisia poised to relax entry rules for vaccinated travellers

The Tunisian Embassy in London confirmed that from Tuesday (15 February), all fully vaccinated travellers over 18 would be made exempt from the need to test “if they can present a certificate to prove they have been fully vaccinated or a vaccine pass”.

All travellers over the age of six who are not fully vaccinated, must take either a PCR test, less than 48 hours before travel, or a rapid lateral flow test less than 24 hours before travel and show dated evidence of a negative result before they check in for their flight.

Travellers over six may be randomly tested with either a PCR or antigen on arrival by the Tunisian authorities. 

Those who receive a positive result they will be required to self-isolate for five days, with the period extended to seven days in case of any “emerging or persisting symptoms”. 

In an update to its advice, the Foreign Office said that from 15 February “if you are vaccinated, you will need to present official evidence of your vaccinations, but you will no longer be required to provide a PCR or rapid test to enter the country”.
