Tunisia effectively closes borders to UK nationals

From Monday (28 September), the UK has been reclassified under Tunisia’s Covid traffic light system as a red country.

This means anyone who travels to Tunisia from the UK as of Monday will be denied entry unless they are a Tunisian national, or have permanent residency in Tunisia.

Previously, any UK nationals travelling to Tunisia had to take a Covid test 72 hours before arrival, and complete 14 days self-isolation on arrival – even if the test came back negative.

Travellers could pay for an additional Covid test after seven days’ self-isolation, if they wished, to end their quarantine early if negative.
