TRAVEL AND BUSINESS INFORMATION
The U.S. Department of State's Consular Information Program advises Americans traveling and residing abroad through Country Specific Information, Travel Alerts, and Travel Warnings.
Country Specific Information exists for all countries and includes information on entry and exit requirements, currency regulations, health conditions, safety and security, crime, political disturbances, and the addresses of the U.S. embassies and consulates abroad.
Travel Alerts are issued to disseminate information quickly about terrorist threats and other relatively short-term conditions overseas that pose significant risks to the security of American travelers.
Travel Warnings are issued when the State Department recommends that Americans avoid travel to a certain country because the situation is dangerous or unstable. For the latest security information, Americans living and traveling abroad should regularly monitor the Department's Bureau of Consular Affairs Internet web site at
Welcome to Travel.State.Gov, where the current
Worldwide Caution,
Travel Alerts, and
Travel Warnings can be found.
Consular Affairs Publications, which contain information on obtaining passports and planning a safe trip abroad, are also available at
Welcome to Travel.State.Gov. For additional information on international travel, see
International Travel: USA.gov.
The Department of State encourages all U.S. citizens traveling or residing abroad to register via the
State Department's travel registration website or at the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate abroad.
The
U.S. Embassy in Tunisia is located in Les Berges du Lac 1053 Tunis, Tunisia.
