Customs and currency: Visas are not required of US tourists visiting the country for up to 4 months. Firearms are carefully controlled, but there are no unusual customs restrictions. Tunisian dinars may not be imported or exported, but foreign currency, including dollars, may be imported; departing travelers may take out the amounts they brought in and any other foreign currency certified to have been legally acquired in Tunisia.

Health: Tunisia has no particular health hazards, but tapwater is not potable in certain seasons in Tunis. Adequate medical care is available in the capital and in other major cities.
