Here the issue is not in the place of residence of Russian citizens, but that the trip will be to a private person. In this case, the receiving party must make an invitation and certify its signature in the municipality (this is very simple), and then send it to the tourist. With an invitation and a package of documents (photo, visa fee, questionnaire and other documents, the list of which can be found in the embassy), the tourist applies to the Embassy of Tunisia in Italy, they will issue a visa.

Besides, the tourist can apply to the Italian tour operator, engaged in tours to Tunisia, for booking a tour package - hotel, air ticket and ground handling (transfer). The tourist will be given a tourist voucher, according to which the tourist, as a Russian citizen, can stay in Tunisia for 90 days. In this case, you must necessarily arrive in the country by direct flight and depart as a direct flight, ferry transport is not suitable. The tourist must also live in the hotel indicated in the voucher.
