Travel Notice for Tunisia
14 May 2025
Following a series of fatal attacks on locals and foreigners in Tunisia, the Tunisian government had declared a state of emergency on 25 November 2015. The state of emergency has been repeatedly extended and remains in force (until December 2025). The decree empowers the authorities to prohibit strikes and gatherings that might provoke disorder, and to temporarily close theatres and bars.
Singaporeans travelling to Tunisia are strongly advised to exercise caution and take all necessary precautions for their personal safety, including monitoring the local news and heeding the instructions of the local authorities. They should remain vigilant and where possible, avoid crowded places, public gatherings, and places known for demonstrations. They should also purchase comprehensive travel insurance and be familiar with the terms and coverage.
Singapore has no diplomatic representation in Tunisia, which constrains our ability to extend consular assistance in an emergency. Singaporeans are strongly encouraged to e-Register with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs so that we can contact you should the need arise. Singaporeans are also advised to stay in touch with your family and friends so that they know you are safe. Those in need of urgent consular assistance may contact the Singapore Embassy in Cairo or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Duty Office (24 hours) at:
