Guide
Seychelles has no visa, but it does have a form. Every traveler must apply for a Travel Authorization before flying, with a standard application fee of 10.90 euros, and the application can be submitted up to 30 days before your flight. You will need an airline booking confirmation showing your arrival and departure dates, an accommodation booking confirmation for each place you will stay, or a letter of invitation if you are visiting friends or family, a digital passport photo, and your contact and flight details.
On arrival a visitor permit is issued free of charge, initially valid for up to three months. The application goes through the Seychelles Electronic Border System website or the E-Border app. No vaccinations are required, except proof of yellow fever vaccination for people arriving from a yellow fever endemic area.
Border crossings
- An island nation with no land border
Every arrival is by air or sea, so the only question is which port, and the Travel Authorization applies to all of them.
- The accommodation booking is checked
The authorization asks for the name of the hotel, guesthouse, or boat charter for each location, so a vague plan to find somewhere on arrival will not fit the form.
Transit routes
- Apply in the 30 days before you fly
The window opens 30 days before your flight, so do not try to complete it months in advance.
- Keep the approval with your passport
The authorization is the document airlines and immigration look for.
Entry point notes
- There is a small fee, not a visa fee
The 10.90 euro charge is for processing the authorization, and the visitor permit itself is free.
- Yellow fever depends on where you have been
Only travelers arriving from endemic areas need proof of vaccination.
