Expat Living Costs and Financial Tips

For expats living in Tunisia, a monthly budget of around 2,500 to 3,500 TND should provide a comfortable lifestyle. This budget can cover rent (around 600-1,000 TND for a one-bedroom apartment in a city), groceries, and leisure activities. When it comes to banking and card usage, most major banks operate in Tunis, and ATMs are widely available. However, it’s advisable to notify your bank before traveling or moving there to avoid potential card usage issues.
