Exercise increased caution with higher advice levels in some areas

Overview

There are more significant security and safety concerns in Tunisia than you would usually find in New Zealand. 

There is an ongoing threat of terrorism and foreigners have been targeted in past attacks. 

Protests are common and can cause delays or become violent. 

Other things New Zealanders travelling or living in Tunisia should be aware of are: 

  • Border areas – there have been kidnappings near the borders with Libya and Algeria. 
  • Crime – watch out for petty crime, especially on public transportation. Fraud is common. 
  • Local laws and customs – learn the laws and follow them. Respect religious and social traditions.
