Tunisia Visa for Kenya Citizens 2026

Visa Required

Kenyan citizens must obtain a visa before traveling to Tunisia, applied for at the nearest Tunisian embassy or consulate — since Tunisia has no mission in Kenya, most applicants use the Tunisian embassy in Addis Ababa or Cairo; standard tourist visas cost around USD 30-50 and take about 1-2 weeks.

Fees & processing time

  • Visa fee: approximately USD 30-50 depending on visa type and entry count
  • No VFS center handles Tunisia visas for Kenya; fees are paid directly at the embassy
  • Total cost estimate including travel to the processing embassy: USD 100-300 if you must travel to Addis Ababa or Cairo
  • Standard processing time: 5-10 working days
  • Expedited processing is not officially offered but can sometimes be requested for urgent business travel with a formal letter

Tips for Kenya travelers

  • Because there is no Tunisian mission in Nairobi, plan your application well in advance and factor in travel time to the nearest embassy
  • Incomplete financial proof and vague invitation letters are the most common reasons for delay or refusal
  • Consider using a visa agent with experience routing Kenyan applications through Addis Ababa or Cairo if you cannot travel there yourself
  • Carry both the physical passport and printed copies of every submitted document to the airport, as Tunisian border officials sometimes request the originals again
  • Extensions of stay are handled by the Direction Générale de la Sûreté Nationale inside Tunisia, best requested at least a week before your visa expires
