To enter Seychelles, a passport valid for the duration of your stay is required by nationals referred to in the chart above.
Seychelles is a visa-free country, allowing visitors from all nationalities to enter for tourism purposes without requiring a visa. Tourists are permitted to stay for up to 30 days, provided they hold an onward or return ticket, proof of sufficient funds, and confirmed accommodation for the duration of their stay.
However, before entering Seychelles (by air or sea) for tourism, business, or visitation purposes, travellers must obtain a Seychelles Travel Authorization (STA). This digital entry permit is issued upon submission of a valid passport, a passport-sized photo, proof of a round-trip or onward flight (or cruise booking), and confirmation of accommodation for each night of the stay.
The Seychelles Travel Authorisation is valid for a single entry. Applications can be submitted up to 30 days in advance and must be completed at least 24 hours before entry. A standard fee applies for processing the STA.
You can extend your visitor's permit for a period of up to three months from the date of issue and for successive periods not exceeding three months at a time to a maximum period of 12 months. There is a fee of Rs5,000 for each three-month extension (the first three months are free). You must apply at the Department of Immigration at least a week before your current permit expires.
Single parents are sometimes asked for documentation proving their parental responsibility.
If you are coming to Seychelles as a visitor for less than six months, bringing your pet is not an option as animals can only be imported for a minimum period of six months. If you are planning on staying longer, you must obtain an import permit. Your animal requires a current rabies vaccination certificate and a veterinary health certificate. Depending on your country of origin, your pet will also need to undergo a period of quarantine of two weeks to six months.
Please note that you cannot import any bird species into Seychelles.
