Tunisia passport: common questions
How many countries can Tunisia passport holders visit without a visa?
38 countries are visa-free for Tunisia passport holders. Counting 21 with a visa on arrival, 3 with an online eTA and 31 with an eVisa, they can visit 93 countries without applying at an embassy. The other 105 countries require an embassy visa.

Why do other websites show a different number for the Tunisia passport?
Websites count different things. Wandava counts every way in without an embassy: visa-free (38), visa on arrival (21), online eTA (3) and eVisa (31), 93 in all. Counting only entry with no step before you travel (visa-free and visa on arrival) gives 59, and visa-free alone gives 38. When an online visa needs a local sponsor or a full set of supporting documents, Wandava counts it as an embassy visa, not an eVisa.
