How can I get paid from abroad in Tunis?

A global payment account gives you account details in currencies such as USD, EUR or GBP, so clients and marketplaces can pay you locally in their country. You then convert to TND and withdraw.

What does it cost to convert to TND?

Costs are the conversion margin plus any withdrawal fee to your local bank in Tunisia. Compare both, as they vary a lot between providers.

Who regulates international bank accounts & e-wallets in Tunis?

Providers serving customers in Tunisia fall under Banque Centrale de Tunisie (BCT). Banks are licensed by the BCT under the banking law, and payment institutions and e-money issuers must be approved under the BCT's payment systems regulation. Tunisia is outside the EU/EEA, so there is no passporting: every provider serving Tunisian customers needs its own local authorisation. Check the BCT's lists of approved institutions.
