Tunisia is generally not interested in foreign employees. A non-Tunisian can only obtain a job in Tunisia, if there is no Tunisian, who is either qualified for this job or could be trained for the job - which, under normal conditions, means: no chance for foreigners. Tunisia is, however, interested very much in foreign currency being brought into the country - and so it makes the permission for residency dependent on the foreigner bringing along sufficient money for his life in Tunesien and/or receives money regularly each month from the foreign country (eg. a pension in retirement). So, obtaining the residency in Tunisia is very easy - there are only 2 basic conditions to be fulfilled: These conditions are (local conditions may sometimes be somewhat different):
|
If and as long as the conditions for residence are fulfilled, a person receives each year a new residence permit (???Carte Sejour???) for one year, later, this permit can span multiple years as well. The simplest form of the immigration in Tunisia is, therefore, a person living there eg. as a retired/pensioner and getting his pension transferred to his bank account in Tunisia each month.
Tunisia is generally not interested in foreign workers. A tunisian job can only be obtained by non-tunisians (except nationals from Algeria, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco) when there is no Tunisian available who is either qualified or could be trained for this job. And this means usally: No job for non-tunisians, even if they have lived for a long time in Tunisia or have a residence permit. |
A further
possibility is the opening of an own enterprise. This is
rewarded by the Tunisian state by exemption from taxes for
some
years - however, there are only certain fields of business,
which are promoted and these are, briefly said, either export-oriented
production enterprises
or enterprises, who work completely extraterritorial
(holding companies, etc.).
Enterprises for
service achievements
and production of goods, which are to be predominantly offered in
Tunesien, are not impossible to start, but their establishment is
connected with
numerous restrictions and bureaucratic hurdles, so that one should
seek professional assistance by an attorney before considering it.
Quite in-depth information can be found on the website of Tunisian Industry.
Every child of a tunisian father or mother (since 2010) is automatically a tunisian citizen, even when it never entered tunisian soil. There is a simplified naturalization procedure possible for wives of Tunisian citizens, although by this, one does not obtain the full citizenship rights (mainly restrictions to obtain public administration positions). For husbands of Tunisian female citizens, the possibilities of a simplified naturalization exist likewise, but are a little bit more difficult. |
