From Tunis to Tozeur, Tunisia is making a comeback in the hearts of French travellers! While the country still relies on ‘economic’ tourism, there are a growing number of initiatives to showcase the subtle charm of our Mediterranean neighbour. But to make the most of it, you need to know that administrative formalities are changing in 2025, and these changes came into effect on 1 January. From now on, all visitors must present a passport valid for more than three months after entry into Tunisia, reports France Diplomatie. There is no change to the visa requirement, however: it is not necessary for a stay of three months or less.

A consortium led by H2 Global Energy has signed a memorandum of understanding with the Tunisian government for the development of an ambitious green hydrogen production project. The initiative, with an estimated total investment of $6 billion, could make Tunisia a major exporter to Europe.
According to Hydrogen Insight, H2 Global Energy hopes to install between 1.5 GW and 1.8 GW of electrolysers. The project, which has yet to be named, could produce 180,000 tonnes of green hydrogen a year for export to Europe.
‘This strategic project highlights Tunisia’s potential as a leader in the production of green hydrogen and ammonia,’ said Waleed AlHallaj, Commercial Director of H2 Global Energy.
In addition to its benefits in terms of energy transition, the project is expected to generate numerous jobs and stimulate economic growth in Tunisia.
