Tunisia lifts travel restrictions for UK arrivals

The Tunisian Embassy in London confirmed the decision by Tunisia’s ministry of health on Wednesday (8 July). The UK was previously classified as an "orange" country.

This meant UK residents travelling to the country were required to provide evidence of a negative PCR (antigen) test for coronavirus taken no more than 72 hours before departure, and to self-isolate for 14 days on arrival at their own expense.

"The Tunisian Ministry of Health just reviewed the classification of countries according to the level of risk as of 8 July," said the embassy in a Facebook post.

"The United Kingdom is now classified as a ’green’ country, meaning residents in the UK will not be subject to any coronavirus-specific entry requirements to Tunisia."
