Airside transit at Tunis
I took advantage of a great fare on RJ TUN-AMM-BKK. I'm working on setting up my positioning flight and need some insight on the air-side transit at the Tunis airport. I will be coming in from Schengen Europe so it's an Intl-Intl transit. I've read that there's no place to get boarding passes in the transit area. Is this still correct? Will I be able to print my RJ boarding pass for my TUN-AMM flight during online check in? I'd prefer to fly in the morning of my outbound flight which would give me a connection time of 2h55m. Inbound flight will be on LH. Seems totally doable if I stay in the transit area but if I gave to exit immigration to get a boarding pass then I'm not sure I have the time.

Someone in 2020 mentioned of a connection sign where you'd be able to get a new BP: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/31897320-post14.html – have you tried that?
Once you have deplaned, as you leave the concourse and before taking the stairs going down to immigration, look to the left and you'll see a small doorway up a few stairs with an equally small sign that says "connection" - unless you're looking for it you might not know it was there. They have an expedited security line there, and a small checkin counter that was able to get me a boarding pass. There is no need to go through the rugby scrum at immigration (twice), in fact they won't stamp your passport. They do give you a little receipt that says you went through. Total time was about five minutes and I was right in the departures area.
