Most nationalities do not require visas 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 (if not, onward or return ticket must be purchased on arrival).
- Proof of accommodation; including contact details.
- Sufficient funds for the duration of the stay (between US0-150 per day) in addition to organised accommodation 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. Alternatively, a deposit may be made by ‘security’ bond in lieu.
The Visitor's Permit is initially valid for 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 12 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.
