Tunisia, as a origin of migrants, began to be characterized as a transit country after the Schengen Agreement in 1985, which guarantees free cross-border movement of EU member states. As European countries expanded their borders for migration control to the outside Europe. Tunisia is a preferred stopover for African irregular migrants due to its geopolitical location, which is easy to access Malta and Italy, which are Europe’s gateway, so the EU is promoting efficient border management through joint policies with Tunisia. The EU provides technical and financial support to Tunisia to control migrants, but cooperates by signing a Mobility Partnership on the condition of re-entry into Tunisia, the origin and transit country of irregular migrants entering Europe. In this paper, Tunisia’s increasing migration governance for irregular migrants is interpreted in the context of the mechanics between the EU and Tunisia. In addition to the characteristics of Tunisia’s migrant policy, which cannot be free from EU financial support, Tunisia’s migration governance is being conducted through support from international organizations and civic groups.
