To host a public event in Tunisia, you’ll need:

  • A permit from local authorities (municipality or governorate)

  • Event insurance

  • Ministry of Culture approval if foreign artists are involved

  • Authorization for temporary sound systems or public gatherings

Apply early, as processing can take weeks or longer.

Don’t Forget Insurance

You should have:

  • Cancellation or weather coverage

  • Staff and volunteer coverage

Offer ticket buyers optional cancellation insurance at checkout to build trust and reduce refund disputes.
