🇹🇳 Does a Tunisian need a visa for Russia 🇷🇺?

Visa required

Yes. Tunisian passport holders need a visa for Russia, applied for at an embassy or consulate of Russia before travelling.

Checked against Wikipedia's list of visa requirements for Tunisian citizens on 2026-10-04. Entry rules change: confirm with the embassy of Russia or its official government website before you travel.

⚠ U.S. State Department travel advisory for Russia: Level 4: Do Not Travel (updated 29 December 2025). It is written for U.S. citizens; read the advisory before you book.

What this means for your trip

You apply at an embassy, consulate or authorised visa centre of the destination, usually with an application form, passport photos, bank statements, travel itinerary and accommodation bookings.

Processing takes days to weeks, and some embassies require an interview; start the application well before your trip.

Your passport should normally be valid for at least six months beyond your planned departure date and have blank pages for stamps; many countries apply this rule.

Plugs and voltage

Your plugs fit: every plug type used in Tunisia (C, E) works with sockets in Russia. Mains voltage differs (Russia: 220 V; Tunisia: 230 V): most phone and laptop chargers accept 100–240 V, but single-voltage devices such as some hair dryers need a converter.
