Entry Formalities 

Irrespective of the nationality of the visitor and his or her family members, there are NO VISA requirements to enter Seychelles.  However, the following documents must be shown in order to obtain immigration clearance at the Seychelles International Airport: 

A passport valid on the date of entry to and exit from Seychelles

Return or onward ticket

Proof of accommodation; including contact details

Sufficient funds for the duration of the stay 

Presentation of all of the above documents will grant you a Visitor’s Permit that will be issued upon arrival by the Seychelles Department of Immigration. 

The Visitor’s Permit is initially valid for the period of visit of up to one month.  It can be extended for a period of up to three months from the date of issue and capable of further extensions for successive periods not exceeding three months at a time to a maximum period of twelve months, provided that the person still meets the criteria of a bona fide visitor. 

The visitor's permit is issued free of charge for the first three months after which there is a fee of SCR1,000 for extension covering each period of three months or any part thereof.
