Travel & Visa: Visitors travelling to Seychelles

Seychelles is a visa-free country which means that there are no visa requirements for any persons wishing to travel. Although a visa is not required to enter Seychelles, visitors should nevertheless have in their possession a valid passport or other travel documents recognized by the government of Seychelles in order to gain entry. The passport must be valid for the period of the intended stay until arrival back in the holder’s country of origin or residence.

Is not a prohibited immigrant;

Is not a holder of a valid permit which entitles the holder to reside in Seychelles
