  We study the impact of the tidal field on the survivability of star clusters
following instantaneous gas expulsion. Our model clusters are formed with a
centrally-peaked star-formation efficiency profile as a result of
star-formation taking place with a constant efficiency per free-fall time. We
define the impact of the tidal field as the ratio of the cluster half-mass
radius to its Jacobi radius immediately after gas expulsion, $\lambda =
r_{h}/R_{J}$. We vary $\lambda$ by varying either the Galactocentric distance,
or the size (hence volume density) of star clusters.
  We propose a new method to measure the violent relaxation duration, in which
we compare the total mass-loss rate of star clusters with their stellar
evolutionary mass-loss rate. That way, we can robustly estimate the bound mass
fraction of our model clusters at the end of violent relaxation. The duration
of violent relaxation correlates linearly with the Jacobi radius, when
considering identical clusters at different Galactocentric distances. In
contrast, it is nearly constant for the solar neighbourhood clusters, slightly
decreasing with $\lambda$. The violent relaxation does not last longer than 50
Myr in our simulations.
  Identical model clusters placed at different Galactocentric distances have
the same final bound fraction, despite experiencing different impacts of the
tidal field. The solar neighbourhood clusters with different densities
experience only limited variations of their final bound fraction.
  In general, we conclude that the cluster survivability after instantaneous
gas expulsion, as measured by their bound mass fraction at the end of violent
relaxation, $F_{bound}$, is independent of the impact of the tidal field,
$\lambda$.
